In offering this book on intimacy, the author hopes to help readers think about themselves and their relationships in the context of the culture that surrounds us and the changes that press in on us. Whether the spotlight is on friendship, mothers and daughters, colleagues at work, marriage and sexual intimacy, or coping with the past, readers will find help in its beam. In our contemporary culture there is a deep and widespread longing for close relationships. The thousands of friendship clubs, matrimonial agencies, and meeting centers all point to the fundamental desire for human warmth. Deep in our psyches lies the need to be loved just as we are. Yet that need is not always fulfilled. Crisis clinics, alcoholism centers, counseling agencies, and divorce courts all indicate how difficult it can be for people to draw close and stay close to others.

In what ways are women and men different? Where do these differences originate? In Origins of Difference, Elaine Storkey uncovers the foundational assumptions and presuppositions that lie beneath gender issues and then builds a cohesive model for a biblical view of men and women. Beginning with the historical context, Storkey presents and critiques the complex issues raised by various academic disciplines: sociology, philosophy, psychology, and theology. Storkey concludes that in order to grasp the meaning of human personhood, we must take seriously the key themes revealed in Scripture. Only through the narratives of creation, sin, and redemption can we find an alternative journey to that which our culture has been making and discover a cogent framework for understanding the story of our humanness and our identity.
