Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say by Preston M. Sprinkle
4.0
I can’t even imagine trying to write a book like this.
I think Preston did a good job overall. He really emphasized that trans identities are not about theological debates or about political ideologies, bur rather are about living, feeling humans. He also really humanized intersex people, which I appreciated.
Most of his arguments were thorough and sound. I think there were only two that I found lacking, which isn’t as much to say I disagreed but just that I wished it had been explored a little more.
ALSO there was so much research in this book. I can’t imagine how long it took him to read all those academic articles and then summarize them and translate them into laymen language. What a boss.
I really wanna have more trans friends so I can keep learning
