Fairer Disputations Recommends:
Featured Author Abigail Favale’s The Genesis of Gender provides a beautifully written account of today’s gender paradigm, from a Christian perspective. She describes the beginning of our understandings of gender, weaving in creation stories and myths, and contrasts the Christian understanding of gender and bodily integration with a postmodern view.
As Editor Serena Sigillito has written: “As gender norms continue to shift in our society, Favale’s book will be an essential guide for Christians who want to encounter their trans-identifying neighbors in a spirit of both truth and love.”
