Section: Christianity-General

The question of gender—who we are as men and women—has never been more pressing, or more misunderstood. Weaving personal experience with expert knowledge, Dr. Abigail Favale provides an in-depth yet accessible account of the gender paradigm: a framework for understanding reality and identity that has recently risen to prominence. Favale traces the genealogy of gender to its origins in feminism and postmodern thought; describes how gender has come to eclipse sex; shows how that shift is reshaping language, law, medicine, sexuality, and our own self-perceptions; and explains the sacramental meaning of sexual difference—the interconnectedness of all creation.
