The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory

“If you want judicious arguments that reflect years of work grounded in exact and compassionate reading of the evidence, this is the book to read.”

“In this genuinely compassionate and deeply convictional work, Robert Smith offers a serious and thoughtful engagement with modern gender theory and transgender claims. Smith affirms the truth that both Scripture and Christian theology confirm that our Creator reveals our gender in our bodies. Christians will deeply appreciate his scholarship and his courage.”

“The breadth of this book is stunning! All conclusions are biblically grounded, theologically sound, person affirming, and God honoring. The Body God Gives has my highest recommendation!”

“This is an in-depth, fair-minded, and delightfully clear examination of contemporary trans and gender theories. There are no ‘straw men’ to be found here. That this book also includes a compelling account of biblical theological anthropology makes it a must-read for Christians who desire thoughtful and faithful engagement on these questions.”

“This volume is required reading for anyone who is serious about understanding how the Bible speaks to contemporary conversations of sex and gender.”
