From Amazon: “In 2014, Time Magazine announced that America had reached 'the transgender tipping point,' suggesting that transgender issues would become the next civil rights frontier. Years later, many people -- even many LGBTQIA+ allies -- still lack understanding of gender identity and the transgender experience. Into this void, trans biblical scholar Austen Hartke brings a biblically based, educational, and affirming resource to shed light and wisdom on gender expansiveness and Christians theology. Transforming deftly weaves ancient and modern stories that will change the way readers think about gender, the Bible, and the faith to which Jesus calls us. Hartke helps readers visualize a more inclusive Christianity, equipping them with the language, understanding, confidence, and tools to change both the church and the world."
