A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory

From The Gospel Coalition –

“If gender is constructed, it can be deconstructed. If we built it, we can tear it down.

Now you know why some activists have been so determined to convince us that gender is something we assign, rather than something we receive. If we assign it, then we can reassign it as we wish. We don’t receive our bodies. We can remake our bodies.

No doubt you’ve observed the rise of transgender theory in Western culture. It’s the denial that the sexed body reveals and determines the gendered self. That’s the helpful summary we find in the excellent new book The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory, written by Rob Smith.”

– Hear Rob Smith interviewed by Colin Hansen. Programme starts 2:00 into the audio file.

A very helpful insight into the whole field of research and debate.
