In this book, Adrian Thatcher offers fresh theological arguments
for expanding our understanding of gender. He begins by describing
the various meanings of gender and depicts the relations between
women and men as a pervasive human and global problem. Thatcher
then critiques naive and harmful theological accounts of sexuality
and gender as binary opposites or mistaken identities.
Demonstrating that the gendered theologies of Hans Urs von
Balthasar and Karl Barth, as well as the Vatican's "war on gender"
rest on questionable binary models, he replaces these models with a
human continuum that allows for sexual difference without assuming
"opposite sexes" and normative sexualities. Grounded in core
Christian doctrines, this continuum enables a full theological
affirmation of LGBTIQ people. Thatcher also addresses the excesses
of the male/female binary in secular culture and outlines a
hermeneutic that delivers justice and acceptance instead of sexism
and discrimination.
