Does God Care about Gender Identity?

A Biblical Vision of Gender Identity  Since the beginning of humanity, people have recognized God's distinct design of male and female gender. But at the onset of the gender revolution, individuals became more likely than ever to question who they were designed to be. As a society, we have expelled gender distinctions and celebrated psychology over biology. Do the core teachings of the Bible uphold this modern divorce?  In this concise booklet, Samuel D. Ferguson carefully and compassionately compares the core beliefs and practices of the transgender movement with the fundamental truths expressed in Scripture. Ferguson argues human identity is not determined by the individual but is given to us by our Creator, who designed us with purpose and encourages us to live in Christlikeness-valuing heavenly transformation over earthly transition.  - Short, Accessible Format: A concise biblical exploration of gender identity  - TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing the modern church   - Great Resource for Parents, Pastors, or Those Struggling with Gender Identity: Offers advice for tackling personal and corporate controversies related to sex and gender
