What's a Real Man? What's a True Woman?

Is gender real? Does it matter in relationships? What does God think about it? So many diverse questions on peoples' lips today come down to the same thing: What does gender mean? Is it a construct of society or self-perception? Or is it a gift to foster intimacy and fruitfulness in our relationships?

.

This site fosters honest and thoughtful conversation about the pressing issue of gender. I write from a Christian perspective, placing great value on the Bible's wisdom about it. But just understanding the Bible's message on gender is a big job for our time, and so part of what we discuss here. We also take up questions posed by our current culture's sometimes confusing views on women & men, relationships and identity.

.

If you are new here, you might want to start with the Big Picture posts, Three Questions... and Want It In A Nutshell?, briefly outlining what I see as the seven main principles of gender.

.

The posts consist of commentary on current events, excerpts from my general book, or book on dating, Biblical exegesis, praise for the culture’s gender goodness and ruminations on its errors as I see them. We also welcome guest posts from gender-savvy writers.

.

Read, think, and join the conversation!
