About the Book

Trans Formations is not a book about trans and non-binary Christians it is a book by trans and non-binary Christians. Who they are, what they experience, and what they understand stretches beyond trans-apologetics to formative anthropological and theological notions without which the body of anthropological and theological knowledge is incomplete. They have things to say about God and about being human and their yet-to-be-accessed insights matter. Whilst there is an abundance of material about trans ethics, there is little trans-written theology or theological anthropology that is formative, rather than trans critical or trans-apologetic. Situated within a queer paradigm, this book presents the identities, insights, and ideas of ten diverse trans and non-binary Christians. Alex Clare-Young, through their own identity, experiences, and insights of researching alongside nine other wonderful human-beings, writes their trans formational journey into being. Will you be transformed?

Review :
'...a book many of us have been waiting for. A book that cuts through, with clinical precision, the destructive and oppressive railings of contemporary patriarchal theology, not with trans apologetics, but with a courageous, compassionate, and tender embracing of trans lived experience, and encounters within, the mystery and wonder of God. It is a defiant, joyous, learned celebration of all that is trans, and formed in the image of God. Alex is very much a voice for this time and generation. This is a seminal, breakthrough book in bringing trans theology in from the margins. It is academically rigorous, pastorally sensitive, and oh so refreshing. I think we will look back, and understand this book as being pivotal in changing how mainstream Christianity understands trans and non-binary people. It is rooted in, and builds upon the work of many trans and queer theologians, but moves beyond, creating an intimate and compelling narrative with the ten trans and non-binary people, they inspire to vulnerability, and authoritative, self-disclosure. If God is a self-disclosing God, then this book, reveals God afresh, in the flesh.' 'We need these first hand testimonies of brave, rebellious, transgressive, sacred and holy dances with the God who will not be restricted or caged and Alex brings them to us with deep understanding and compassion. In the voices of pain and resilience, suffering and hope, ongoing disintegration and re-integration, there is prophetic hope for the future. This is a must-read for those involved in Christian policy-making.' 'This is a wonderfully uncomfortable read. In giving space, time and voice to trans and non-binary lives and our encounters with the unruly, living God, Clare-Young has created a book which resists easy definition. Trans Formations is by turns, constructive theology and queer testimony, as well as an invitation to dance with God and one another. Clare-Young impressively reveals God’s call to dwell in the promise of being human, celebrating our richest differences and similarities.'
