Gender and Sexuality: Biblical Sanity in a World of Confusion is a contemporary Christian work that addresses today’s highly debated issues of gender identity, sexual ethics, and marriage. Authored by theologian Michael Riccardi and released by CLC Publications in December 2024, this 176-page paperback guides readers through the complex intersection of faith and modern cultural shifts. Riccardi’s aim is to offer clarity and biblical anchoring in a society where definitions of male, female, and marriage are increasingly fluid and contested.

Grounded in Scripture and theological insight, Riccardi confronts topics such as transgenderism, LGBTQ+ movements, and the broader sexual revolution. He contends that society’s departure from God’s design has resulted in confusion and cultural rebellion. The book equips believers with biblical reasoning to understand these changes and respond thoughtfully, yet lovingly, to those engaged in them. Positioned within the Christian Life series, this work is tailored for both church leaders and laypeople who want to navigate these sensitive conversations with spiritual wisdom.

The author also draws on endorsements from notable theologians in the evangelical scene. For instance, Andy Naselli, a Professor of Systematic Theology and New Testament, praises the volume as “timely, clear, insightful, and sound teaching”— emphasizing its role in affirming and celebrating what he terms “God’s brilliant design.” Through a blend of pastoral concern, theological depth, and cultural engagement, Gender and Sexuality aims to be both a resource for personal growth and a tool for churches addressing these pressing issues.
