A theological resource on gender and sexuality for Christian thinkers and church leaders.
To state the obvious, we have seen profound changes in our culture as the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) movement has won widespread acceptance and has increasingly been accommodated in law and educational policy.
At a more individual level, we all breathe the air of a culture that says our sexuality and gender identity is at once central to our very selves and at the same time permanently fluid. That is profoundly unsettling and the effects of that culture are all around us.
So what does a biblical and pastoral response look like to that culture; its champions, and its casualties? That’s the question Primer issue 03 is trying to answer.
Short articles by different authors tackle various aspects of how to respond Biblically to our culture in areas of sexuality and gender. There is a guide to books, that cover different aspects of the debate and an extract with crtique from Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality. Very thought provoking, and more relevant than ever.
