Gender As Love

In *Gender as Love*, Fellipe do Vale presents a theological account of human identity, embodied desire, and our social worlds.

He engages with current theories and debates, avoiding the impasse between social constructionist and biological essentialist paradigms.

Do Vale's approach is unique in that it emphasizes love as identity-forming and proposes that gender is the appropriation of social goods pertaining to the sexed body, tied to biological sex but socially constructed in its expression.

The book is praised for its rigorous theological argument and its ability to navigate complex truths without resorting to simplistic assertions.
