The Publishing Story: Male and Female

The editorial team of Renew.org approached us in 2022 to take their previous book On Gender and make it more robust. They wanted to create an expanded and expounded version of that book.

More About the Book

A THOUGHTFUL PURSUIT OF ANSWERS TO THE TOUGHEST GENDER QUESTIONS

Male and Female is for those with curiosity about what it means to be male and female today—and with courage to follow where the evidence leads. Make no mistake about it: this exploration calls for courage. Led by Renée Webb Sproles, the team of writers for Male and Female delve into such questions as:

• Is someone’s gender set for life—or is it socially constructed?
• Does the Bible really teach wives to submit to their husbands?
• How can churches be a place where men and women are equally valued?

This book is a user-friendly, topical guidebook, so that you can explore your questions as they arise. Sproles has brought together a team of experts in biblical scholarship, cultural trends, church leadership, and counseling in order to put together a God-honoring resource that encourages curiosity and cultivates courage.
