Was Adam androgynous? What did the apostle Paul say about sex? What does Christianity say about gender roles? Was sex allowed in early Christianity? Here I discuss all of these issues, citing the writings of Paul, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, Polemon the Stoic, Acts of Thecla, and more.

Thank you to Dr. Bart Ehrman, Dr. Jennifer Knust, and Dr. Jeffrey Siker for speaking with me on this.
