male and female stick figure outlines

In his book, The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory, Dr. Robert S. Smith offers a biblically grounded critique of transgender theory’s central claim that there is no inherent connection between the sexed body and the gendered self. In this episode, he joins Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss how he came to be interested in this subject; some of the factors that have led to the current confusion about the relationship between biological sex and gender; and what biblical revelation reveals about the significance of embodiment for sexuality, marriage, and personal identity.
