Reseña del libro "Christian Faith and Gender Identity: An OtherWise Reflection Guide (en Inglés)"
This 7-day devotional from the author of OtherWise Christian: A Guidebook for Transgender Liberation provides a gentle introduction to concepts around gender identity for transgender, intersex, and OtherWise-gendered Christians as well as those who love us. The text draws from Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, John, Acts, and Galatians, including well-known stories such as Moses at the burning bush, Joseph and the "coat of many colors," and Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch traveler.This affirming guide explores questions of gender identity by exploring seven passages of scripture (Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Acts, and Galatians) while inviting the reader to reflect on their own experience but also includes terms and definitions, recommended resources, and an appendix of modern-day Psalms.Each chapter is a quick, easy read. Reflection questions are included at the end of each chapter, which can be used individually or in group discussion. Terms and definitions provide modern context and an invitation to explore further.This reflection guide is appropriate both for those who are beginning to explore their own gender identity, and for those who may be trying to gain understanding of a loved one. It can also be used as an accessible study guide for congregations who want to enhance their understanding of transgender experience.Not your typical "transgender 101," Christian Faith and Gender Identity is a conversation starter that invites us into the lives of OtherWise-gendered people, both in the Bible and in the modern world.
