For two thousand years the church has had to defend doctrinal truth and oppose theological error. Now, in a stunning historical development, for the first time in Christian history we have to define and defend biblical truth on the most basic issues of sex and gender. The Bible begins with the creation of human beings as male and female. Now, we are in the position of arguing for the truth of creation itself. Denny Burk, David Closson, and Colin Smothers offer biblical insight and clarity in this important study. This study is theologically solid and incredibly timely.
—R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
We live in a time where we, as Christians, constantly face opposition in our culture. One of the most contested topics is love: the definition of marriage, what the Bible says about homosexuality, and even the roles of a husband and a wife. This timely Bible study is needed in a time such as this. I’m thankful that Male and Female He Created Them is a sound yet simple theological study that takes you back to the basics of the Bible. It’s a great challenge to Christians to know what God’s Word says to help us clearly define what we believe and why we believe it.
—Cissie Graham Lynch, Senior Advisor and Ministry Spokesperson for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, Host of the Fearless with Cissie Graham Lynch podcast
We live in morally confused times. Nowhere is that more obvious than in our culture’s approach to marriage and sexuality. Unfortunately, the church has too often been on the sidelines when it comes to discipling believers on these topics and our nation has suffered as a result. God calls us to think biblically about everything, including sexuality, and I’m grateful for this resource and how it equips Christians to think faithfully on these contested issues.
