Even the most pressing hot button issues in our culture are anything but unprecedented or new. Even the fractious debates over transgenderism and gender identity are merely the aberrant manifestations of a much greater and deeper issue: cosmology. Thus, Biblical theology must be the starting point for Christians wish to deal substantively with these issues, and that begins at the beginning: with the Doctrine of the Trinity and the character and nature of God, with the Doctrine of Creation and the purposes for which God made all things, and with the Doctrine of Man both in light of the ordinances of his creaturely estate and in light of the consequences of his fallen estate. Only this approach has the potential to elevate issues of gender and sexuality from being anything more than a battle of political wills. “This monograph.” in the words of Dr. George Grant, theologian, pastor, educator, and author, “is vitally important at this moment of our cultural crisis because it looks beyond this moment to those enduring, eternal truths which afford us with providential perspective and prophetic perspicuity.”
