E-grāmata: Redeeming Gender

Redeeming Gender is a highly original piece of theological scholarship. The book is timely, creative, and important. * Ashley Starr-Morris, Reading Religion * [ I]f one can affirm his premise that "patriarchy is responsible for [ sex and gender-based violence]," this will be a highly coveted book. If not, most readers will be able to appreciate Thatcher's initial impulse to direct theology of gender towards Christology and Trinitarianism, and his creative approach to understanding human solidarity alongside sex difference. * Katherine Apostolacus, Theology and Sexuality * This is an unusually well-written and well-structured book by an established liberal Anglican theologian ... an important corrective to the dogmatic theological claims of those who defend female subordination, reject same-sex marriage, or despite openly transgender people. * Robin Gill, Church Times * One of the strengths of this book is the clarity with which it is written...Whilst being very readable as an introduction to the subject, it is also informative...especially in its review of the context of the New Testament writings and the formation and development of such church practices as ordination....a kaleidoscope of fascinating themes and stories, and a good point of departure for further, in-depth explorations of its topics. * Lina Toth, Baptistic Theologies * Accessible and deceptively challenging account of gender theory from an Anglican theologian, which offers something fresh to the human sexuality conversation. * Beth Allison-Glenny, The Baptist Times * Thatcher's rich scholarship, from Scripture to medical science, is beyond question, and it gives some valuable ammunition against those who still interpret Christian faith in a patriarchal way. * Anthony Woollard, Theology * Thatcher advances his argument with compelling conviction. ... While the argument presented in this book is complex and challenging, and is rooted in copious scholarlship, Thatcher communicates clearly and engagingly. This book will merit close study by all those interested in how the Church got itself into such confusion over sex, and how it might begin to offer itself a way out. * Elaine Graham, Modern Believing *
