Intersex and the Puritans

with one comment

I found this message board, called “The Puritan Board”, through a Christian blogger writing about the Federal Vision controversy in the PCA.  Out of curiousity, I did some scanning around comment threads by keywords.  This one is about hermaphroditism, but the topic was quickly dropped once the predictable joking was over.

There’s no robust theological discussion of the problem that some people are born with characteristics of both genders (although these kids can parse theological terms like nobody’s business in other areas!).  When I do find such a discussion from a Reformed and/or Evangelical/Conservative Christian perspective, I’ll be sure to post it, since I’ve accused them before of not having one.  Perhaps someone could point me to something?
