AB Women who pray with Paul, ‘I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me’ (Gal 2:20), as surely as we men are ‘imagines Christi’, in the analogous way in which we usually understand this. ‘For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son’ (Rom 8:29; cf. 1 Cor 15:49). But how can we affirm this without denying the theological relevance of Jesus' sex and gender identity? Saying that sex and gender is purely contingent and accidental (in the technical, ‘scholastic’ sense) seems, while true, somehow inadequate.
