About this book
Reviews
“This is a varied, interesting and uncomfortable compilation of essays, with applicability to everyone who is prepared to hear the voices and heed the challenges. It is a very valuable contribution to a lesser-known aspect of the field of theology and sexuality, and a necessary corrective to theologies – lesbian and gay as well as those orientated around heterosexuality – that have as their premise an unquestioned gender binary. I highly recommend this book.” (Jenny Gaffin, Modern Believing, Vol. 57 (4), 2016)
“Intersex, Theology, and the Bible: Troubling Bodies in Church, Text, and Society is a welcome collection of essays that gives insight into a neglected area in Christian discourse. … This text presents abundant, thoughtful insights for those working in medicine, education, pastoral care, and sociology. … fill a gap in Christianity’s reflection on God’s plan for our bodies, and is a significant step toward asking the initial questions in a vital conversation that is just warming up.” (Erik Lenhart, The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly, 2016)
'In this rich and multi-dimensional study, Susannah Cornwall has shown that intersex is a critically important, theologically suggestive, and historically threatening category in the practice and study of religion. This examination of a neglected subject is required reading for anyone who cares about bodies, gender, or religion.' - Candida Moss, University of Notre Dame, USA
