In this episode, I talk with Robert S. Smith about his new book The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory. We explore what transgender theory is, how it became so influential in Western culture, and why the Bible’s vision of the body as “given” rather than self-crafted offers a more hopeful and truthful foundation for identity.
Robert Smith is lecturer in theology, ethics & music ministry at Sydney Missionary Bible College in Sydney, Australia, and serves as Ethics and Pastoralia book reviews editor for Themelios. He has written The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory (Lexham Press, 2024), The Gender Revolution: A biblical, biological and compassionate response (Co-authored with Patricia Weerakoon and Kamal Weerakoon (Matthias Media 2023), and much more.https://www.ryleyheppner.comhttps://apologeticscanada.com/ryley-heppner/
