"This much-needed book provides theological support and a word of hope for transgender allies. Combining thoughtful scholarship and honest personal narrative, Soughers helps Christians think differently about gender and God and so creates room to stand with and receive the gifts of transgender people in our midst."—Scott Bader-Saye, Academic Dean and Professor of Christian Ethics and Moral Theology, Seminary of the Southwest, Austin, Texas

"Tara Soughers has a unique perspective as a theologian, parent of a trans* son, and trans* ally that challenges the reader to examine their concept of the binary. . . . Beyond a Binary God is a celebration of the complexities and diversity of creation that is wonderfully created by God."—The Rev. Gwen Fry, Priest, Diocese of Arkansas
