‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ Course
Today is the last day my forthcoming Davenant Hall ‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ course is open for (late) registration. If you are interested in taking the course, you need to act now!
Within the course we will be developing a Christian account of man and woman, in conversation with an array of diverse texts and interlocutors from several different fields and realms of enquiry, both academic and popular—philosophy, biology, the social sciences, etc.
The course follows on from previous courses I’ve taught on ‘A Biblical Theology of the Sexes’ and ‘Man and Woman in Modernity’, while also standing alone. Its goal is to show how a Christian account of the sexes can enter into receptive yet principled dialogue with other fields.
The course runs for ten weeks of two-hour classes and is open to auditors. Videos of each class will be made available to every student who signs up, but are exclusive to them. If you don’t sign up for the class, you miss the opportunity!

What C. S. Lewis Actually Believed About Men and Women — with Joshua Herring – That’ll Preach
What did C. S. Lewis think about gender? The answer might surprise you. Lewis drew on Scripture and ancient tradition to ground his vision of reality as a gift bestowed by a benevolent Creator — and he expressed that vision through narrative. The Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy each portray the glory and nuance of male and female in ways that still resonate with readers today. In this episode, Joshua Herring joins us to talk about his book Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve and how Lewis brings clarity to our present confusion over gender. We also get into where Lewis's vision cuts against feminist ideology and how he recovers the complementarity of men and women. You will not read his fiction the same way again.
