Theology of Gender and the Effects of the Fall

In contemporary gender theory, claims about what it means to be male and female run the gamut from those who deny that human beings even exist in biological sexes. Beth Belker-Jones: We must ask whether our theologies are willing to name the effects of sin on the way we exist as male and female creatures after the fall. "We learn from the word of God that we have to be suspicious of the way we tend to see things," she says.
