"God, Sex, Science, Gender: An Interdisciplinary Approach to
Christian Ethics" is a timely, wide-ranging attempt to rescue
dialogues on human sexuality, sexual diversity, and gender from
insular exchanges based primarily on biblical scholarship and
denominational ideology. Too often, dialogues on sexuality and
gender devolve into the repetition of party lines and defensive
postures, without considering the interdisciplinary body of
scholarly research on this complex subject. This volume expands
beyond the usual parameters, opening the discussion to scholars in
the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to foster the
development of Christian sexual ethics for contemporary times.
Essays by prominent and emerging scholars in the fields of
anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, literary studies,
theology, and ethics reveal how faith and reason can illuminate our
understanding of human sexual and gender diversity. Focusing on the
intersection of theology and science and incorporating feminist
theory, "God, Science, Sex, Gender" is a much-needed call for
Christian ethicists to map the origins and full range of human
sexual experience and gender identity. Essays delve into why human
sexuality and gender can be so controversial in Christian contexts,
investigate the complexity of sexuality in humans and other
species, and reveal the implications of diversity for Christian
moral theology.
