Book Launch—Trans Biblical: New Approaches to Interpretation and Embodiment in Scripture
March 26 at 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm CDT
Join us for the launch of Trans Biblical: New Approaches to Interpretation and Embodiment in Scripture, a new collection of wide-ranging essays published by Westminster John Knox. The book explores key issues animating trans-biblical interpretation from a variety of angles and emphases. Contributors, who represent a range of gender identities, answer the question—“What makes a biblical reading trans, or a trans reading biblical?”—in diverse and exciting ways. They also promote new ways of thinking about gender variation in the ancient world while more sensitively and critically addressing ongoing debates about gender and embodiment.
Several editors (including United’s adjunct faculty, Melissa Harl Sellew, ThD, and Dr. Katy Valentine) and contributors (including United’s core faculty, Rev. Dr. Justin Sabia Tanis) will offer brief remarks about the book, with a response by MA student Elliott Barnhill. Those who attend in person can enjoy light refreshments.
