One of the most pressing issues facing the evangelical church today
involves dramatic shifts in our culture's perceptions regarding
human sexuality. While homosexuality and same-sex marriage have
been at the forefront, there is a new cultural awareness of sexual
diversity and gender dysphoria. The transgender phenomenon has
become a high-profile battleground issue in the culture wars. This
book offers a full-scale dialogue on transgender identities from
across the Christian theological spectrum. It brings together
contributors with expertise and platforms in the study of
transgender identities to articulate and defend differing
perspectives on this contested topic. After an introductory chapter
surveys key historical moments and current issues, four views are
presented by Owen Strachan, Mark A. Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky,
Megan K. DeFranza, and Justin Sabia-Tanis. The authors respond to
one another's views in a respectful manner, modeling thoughtful
dialogue around a controversial theological issue. The book helps
readers understand the spectrum of views among Christians and
enables Christian communities to establish a context where
conversations can safely be held.
Most introductions to apologetics begin with the "how to" of
defending the faith, diving right into the major apologetic
arguments and the body of evidence. For those who want a more
foundational look at this contested theological discipline, this
book examines Christian apologetics in its nature, history,
approaches, objections and practice. What is apologetics? How has
apologetics developed? What are the basic apologetic approaches?
Why should we practice apologetics? Countless Christians today are
seeking a responsibe way to defend and commend their faith. If you
are one them, Thinking About Christian Apologetics is the place to
start.
