What the Bible says about humans created in God’s image as male and female, and how this relates to transgender experiences
Moral questions surrounding medical interventions such as sex reassignment surgery
Which pronouns to use and how to navigate the bathroom debate
Why more and more teens are questioning their gender
Written for Christian leaders, pastors, and parents,
Embodied
fills the great need for Christians to speak into the confusing and emotionally charged questions surrounding the transgender conversation.
