Presents the issue of gender from biblical, biological and cultural perspectives, and provides the reader with an historical and theoretical context within which to engage in a constructive dialogue... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Storkey has an excellent review of the pre-modern, modern and post-modern concepts of gender and how they have impacted the general social fabric of western culture and relationships. She gives fair critique of "traditional" Christian values as they can be cited more as reactions to changes in the culture than representative of an embodied faith. I highly recommend this book to anyone well versed (or seeking to be) on gender studies and the influence of the Christian faith in this area. The unique voice of Storkey is one of a Christian that speaks outside the anticipated box of Christian thinking. Like other academics, Storkey places the information well without setting forth any alternative directions.
