Abstract

The theme of the fullness of life is both broad and of broad interest; the topic of gender is, or should be, an integral part of this. This view is shared across the theological spectrum, given that both ‘left’ and ‘right,’ ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’, ‘Protestant’ and ‘Catholic’ voices are all very much preoccupied with the topic, however fiercely they may be disagreeing. All of this takes place in the context of a society very much preoccupied with questions of sexual abuse and problematic performances of gender, harming both the persons involved and others—and this for good reason.
