What is the relationship between sex and gender? - Understand society's shifts in thinking and talking about sex and gender - Discover how biological sex guides gender - Recognize how the Bible speaks to gender and transgender - Respond to affirming interpretations of Scripture - Answer gender confusion with clarity and compassion In The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory, Robert S. Smith argues that God intends a person's gender to be grounded in the reality of his or her biological sex-the body God has given. In making his case, Smith critiques the central claim of transgender theory: that the sexed body does not determine the gendered self. He also evaluates contemporary changes in thought and speech about sex and gender, responding to modern confusion with biblical conviction and compassion. God speaks clearly, both in his word and in his world.

Robert S. Smith (PhD, Australian College of Theology) is an ordained Anglican minister and a lecturer in theology, ethics, and music ministry at Sydney Missionary and Bible College. He is the author of How Should We Think About Gender and Identity? and coauthor of The Gender Revolution: A Biblical, Biological and Compassionate Response.
