Abstract
What is the purpose of this volume? Why should academic theologians, biblical scholars, intersex advocates, medical ethicists, members of the Christian Church, or other readers who come to the collection be concerned with the interactions between intersex, theology, and the Bible? Should intersex be regarded as being of major or indeed of any significance in the discussion and formulation of Christian doctrine and especially with the way the Church grapples with sex, gender, and sexuality in the light of scientific advances and social trends? Or is this issue a side issue, a “red herring,” a piece of trivia that belongs as a footnote in some abstruse academic journal but has no relevance in the Christianity of the real world?
