In his lecture, the Erlangen church historian Professor Anselm Schubert describes the history of the discussion about the gender of Christ in the 20th century - from the idea of a natural (or even supernatural) masculinity of Christ in church debates, the theories of a marriage and children of Christ in esoteric and political conspiracy narratives, the female incarnations of Christ in feminist theology to the invention of the queer Christ in postmodern theology and the gender debate of recent years.
