About OtherWise Christian: A Guidebook For Transgender
Product Description 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. Review "In this invigorating dive into scripture... Paige... reads the Bible in provocative ways... brings to the foreground lesser-known biblical figures... surprising yet plausible... strong and imaginative... This is a treasure chest of resources for those interested in ways transgender individuals can live faithful to God and to one's self." Publisher's Weekly "This is the book that we need." The Rev. Terri Stewart United Methodist Alliance for Transgender Inclusion (UMATI) "The most exhaustive look at gender non-conforming/trans identities in the Bible that I have seen to date. Informative & Accessible." Peterson Toscano Transfigurations: Transgressing Gender in the Bible "I am excited to revisit familiar characters and narratives with a new OtherWise lens. This is an extraordinary gift to the trans community and to those, whether transgender or cisgender, who wish to go deeper in the texts to see those of us who have been hidden, erased, and/or disparaged." The Rev. Louis Mitchell Executive Director of Transfaith "...a truly incredible book. Mx Chris' writing is clear, elegant, and prophetic, and the book's intertextual readings of scripture and popular culture are very insightful. This book beautifully answers the deepest possible question: how can we imagine and practice our spirituality in ways that are truly just and liberatory, especially as it concerns our gender." Cleis Abeni/Upāsikā tree Transgender elder "...a wonderful resource... This is a faith text that CANNOT be ignored." Rev. Shanea D. Leonard Associate for Gender & Racial Justice for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
