For too long, Christianity has taught that there are only two genders-one made to lead, the other to submit. Transgender, nonbinary, and queer people have been blamed for society’s decline while churches protect systems that enable gendered violence, inequality, and exclusion.
But what if the Bible reveals a different story?
In Gender Expansive Faith, Steff Fenton offers a bold and tender invitation into a Christianity beyond control and binary roles-one rooted in justice, liberation, and the full beauty of human diversity. Combining memoir, affirming theology, and practical guidance, this book speaks directly to:
- Progressive Christians, exvangelicals, and Christian feminists looking to deconstruct patriarchal theology
- Queer and trans people of faith seeking hope and belonging
- Pastors and parents of transgender youth wanting clarity, compassion, and courage
Through fresh readings of Scripture-including Jesus’ affirmation of eunuchs in Matthew 19, Fenton shows how trans and gender diverse people reflect the Divine. You’ll explore:
- What the Bible really says about gender
- How patriarchal theology created the gender binary
- The basics of sex, gender, and identity-explained clearly and kindly
- Common questions about sports, bathrooms, and women’s spaces
- How to support the trans and queer people in your church and family
Whether you’re affirming and want to grow deeper, or questioning what you’ve been taught about gender and faith, this book offers a loving path forward.
It’s time to expand your faith-and discover that trans people aren’t on the margins of God’s story. We’re right at the heart of it.
