The aim of this study is to provide an accessible curriculum for the average church-goer, to those looking for biblical and theological answers to the questions of gender identity in the 21st century.



Male and Female He Created Him is a new curriculum on manhood, womanhood, gender and sexuality. Curated by specialists in the area of study, Burke, Smothers and Closson present a positive vision for biblical sexuality and engage contemporary discussions around gender orientation, gender dysphoria and identity with the timeless truth of Scripture. By the completion of the study, participants will have a better grasp on the Biblical teachings around gender, sexuality and the implications around such subjects in the 21st century; thence allowing an increased scope in their ministries in church, home and work.

Reviews

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

Solid, orthodox Bible study about issues of sexual identity and marriage, specifically addressing issues of the LGBTQ+ movement in the West. It is comprehensive and Biblically truthful while maintaining love and compassion for people. The FAQs throughout the chapters are helpful and would likely answer most people’s questions. Highly recommend - could be used for high schoolers or adults.

Solidly biblical, speaking truth in love

The book is in a small group, weekly study format. It answers questions from Scripture, as it should. Good stuff.

Thanks to Denny Burk, David Closson, and Colin Smothers, Male & Female He Created Them provided my wife and I with hours of good reading, deep contemplation, and open discussion. The authors present a solidly biblical view of gender, sexuality, and marriage. The churches and all church members in this day of immense confusion desperately need the clarity of the understanding conveyed in this book. We recommend this book without reservation. Hopefully it will be read, discussed, and applied widely.,
