Derrick Sherwin Bailey chronicles the evolution of Christian doctrine on gender and sexuality, tracing ideas from the early Church Fathers through the medieval scholastics and into the modern era, arguing that these theological frameworks have had a profound and lasting impact on Western society's understanding of marriage, sexuality, and the roles of men and women.\n\nBailey, a distinguished Anglican theologian and one of the 20th century's foremost scholars of Christian sexual ethics, brings a rare combination of historical rigour and pastoral sensitivity to this landmark study. Written with measured authority and scholarly precision, the work illuminates the tensions between scriptural interpretation, natural law, and lived human experience — raising questions about doctrine and gender that remain urgently relevant. For anyone seeking to understand the deep theological roots of how Christian civilisation has defined the relationship between the sexes, this volume stands as an indispensable and thought-provoking resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203339690203,"sku":"2026200013539-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6301a464-a808-4d71-af3d-1011464cc10f.png?v=1788147866","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013539-secondhand-the-man-woman-relation-in-christian-thought","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
