Intersex on Earth as It Is in Heaven

  • Chapter
Intersex, Theology, and the Bible

Abstract

This chapter investigates whether there will be intersex in heaven and sketches what the implications of that might be for intersex on earth.1 From the very moment the faithful began to declare their belief in the resurrection of the body and in the life of the world to come, various hypotheses have been a matter of lively debate among Christians. My thesis is that sex is polymorphic in the new creation, that is, in some transformed sense there will be male, female, and intersex persons in the life to come.
