OtherWise Christian: A Guidebook for Transgender Liberation: 1

OtherWise Christian: A Guidebook for Transgender Liberation by Mx. Chris Paige is a love letter to transgender communities a self defense manual against Bible abuse and Christian trans-antagonism and the beginning of a historical record of how far we have come.OtherWise Christian reviews 25 years of transgender-affirming biblical scholarship. Mx. Chris Paige argues that the Bible shows us story after story of OtherWise-gendered people being used by God to further the kingdom. Yet we have been bamboozled by a restrictive gender ideology that is aligned with empire white supremacy and Christian supremacy. Jesus and our biblical ancestors invite us to join a gender-full resistance!Scholarly yet accessible OtherWise Christian takes the Bible seriously while presenting new vocabulary to connect modern transgender (and intersex) identities with gender non-conforming themes in the Christian Bible. The result is a bold and unapologetic interpretation of Christian tradition that will have you re-reading familiar Bible passages with new clarity.In many ways this is the initial quick reference that I would have loved to find when I first started exploring my gender identity as a twenty-something Christian says Paige about the book.Look for the OtherWise Christian companion blog for additional content!
