“This book is a prophetic call to the Church. Steff Fenton brings scholarship, lived experience, and pastoral wisdom together in a way that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply accessible. Their work will become a touchstone for anyone seeking to dismantle patriarchal readings of Scripture and embrace a more expansive gospel.”

“As a mother of a transgender teenager, I found this book to be life-giving. For years I’ve worried about how to reconcile my child’s identity with our Christian faith. Steff’s words not only affirmed my child but also healed parts of my own relationship with God.”

“Fenton’s Gender Expansive Faith blends exegetical analysis with memoir, positioning trans and gender-diverse voices as essential to theological discourse. Their reading of Matthew 19:12 alongside critiques of Christian patriarchy exemplifies a methodological move toward liberative, embodied hermeneutics. The text makes an important contribution to feminist, queer, and constructive theologies.”

“This book gave me language I’ve been craving my whole life. For the first time, I saw my trans identity celebrated as divine, not just tolerated. I’ll be recommending it to my whole church.”

“While some readers may wish for deeper engagement with non-Christian traditions, the strength of this book lies in its unapologetic centering of trans lives within Christian theology. It is not a book for those seeking neutrality—it is a book for those seeking liberation.”

“Just finished Gender Expansive Faith by @SteffFenton and WOW. Think theology + memoir + a fierce takedown of patriarchy. If you’ve ever been told the Bible excludes you—this book says otherwise. Highly recommend 💜✨ #QueerTheology #TransAndChristian”

“Every pastor, chaplain, and faith leader should read this. It doesn’t just expand our understanding of gender—it deepens our understanding of God. My preaching and pastoral care will never be the same.”

“Our group read Gender Expansive Faith over six weeks and were amazed at the mix of theology, storytelling, and practical reflection. Each chapter gave us space for honest conversations about gender, faith, and power. Highly engaging and transformative for community reading.”

“Fenton writes with a rare balance of lyricism and clarity. The prose is pastoral yet unflinching, weaving personal narrative with biblical critique. The result is both beautiful and convicting—a book you don’t just read, but experience.”

“This book is more than theology—it is strategy for justice. By showing how trans people embody divine expansiveness, Fenton connects the dots between Christian patriarchy and systemic gendered violence, and offers a pathway toward freedom for us all.”
