Andrew Walker is one of the brightest lights in the evangelical church, which is why he was one of the first people I brought to EPPC. In God and the Transgender Debate he helps the church both understand and compassionately respond to today’s challenges on gender identity. This new edition of the book is needed now more than ever. -- Ryan T. Anderson (Senior Research Fellow, the Heritage Foundation)
Biblically faithful and warmly compassionate, this is a timely resource for any offering pastoral care to those struggling with gender-identity issues. Andrew Walker provides a useful chapter for how parents should address this issue with their children, and also answers a range of commonly asked questions. -- Sharon James (The Christian Institute)
The Bible tells us Jesus was full of grace and truth. In this book, Andrew Walker follows in the footsteps of the Savior. He speaks truth, but he does it with grace and love. He tackles complex issues with care, clarity, and wisdom. This will be my go-to book for those who struggle to understand this pressing issue. -- Daniel L Akin (President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, NC)
I am extremely grateful for Andrew Walker’s work on the transgender debate. Throughout my adult life, I have longed to see public issues addressed by Christians in ways that are articulate, intelligent, biblically orthodox, and compassionate. Andrew does exactly that in his writing and speaking. The only way forward for the church is to be faithful, honest, and loving as we subject everything to the lordship of Christ. This book can help us do that with regard to what may be the most challenging social question of our age. -- Hunter Baker (Dean of Arts and Sciences, Union University)
The issue of transgenderism remains hotly contested in our culture and raises a variety of questions for Christians who desire to be faithful to a biblical sexual ethic while also showing love to their transgender neighbors. Andrew Walker offers a wealth of clear, ethical thinking and pastoral sensitivity that is rooted in the authority of Scripture and insights from the best of the Christian tradition. Walker’s book is an excellent go-to resource for church staffs, church reading circles, or parents and teachers who want to think Christianly about how to navigate this issue with both conviction and compassion. Highly recommended. -- Nathan A. Finn (Provost and Dean, North Greenville University)
