Had a little fun last week w/ this Q & subsequent answers. HOWEVER, the discussion prompted an actual Q for me that sits at the intersection of covenant theology & gender. Would love feedback (1)https://twitter.com/sometimesalight/status/1050772746836332545 …

How does covenant theology account for circumcision as an inherently gendered sign of the covenant transitioning into baptism which is not gendered?

I’ve long wondered that too! It seems to me the gendered notion of circumcision might/ought to be viewed as an indication of its limited nature. The fuller inclusion of the gospel/New Covenant requires a fuller signification of our immersive union with Christ.

I’ve always just thought the OT ladies got lucky. (And maybe protected considering the practice of female circumcision, though I don’t know when that started)
