God, Sex, and Gender: An Introduction

"Adrian Thatcher's new book will be a rich resource for those studying and teaching sex, gender and sexuality in theological perspective ... The volume is a valuable one, which I hope will prompt readers to go and explore Thatcher's own extensive work form the past, as well as the broader context of theological scholarship on sexuality, gender and marriage within which it sits." (Theology, 1 January 2012)

"Although designed as an introduction for theology students, this is a really remarkable book covering a whole range of sensitive subjects in a deeply humane fashion." (Network Review, 1 June 2011)

 

"Adrian Thatcher brings an unparalleled knowledge and understanding to the writing of this book. He knows what readers - both beginners and seasoned – want and need in an introductory text. The author is not only sensible and comprehensive, but also critical and challenging, as well as discerning and wise, and above all accessible. His book provides a truly excellent introduction to the profound and often troubling questions raised by the gender and intimacies of our bodies in relationship to one another and to God."
—Gerard Loughlin, Durham University

"Two things shine through this book: Adrian Thatcher's scholarship and his humanity. This book will help readers understand how and why centuries of Christian teaching on sex and gender developed as it did, and offers a wealth of resources for meeting the challenges of today."
—Elaine Graham, University of Chester
