Let me say that as a former minister in the Southern Baptist Convention and an openly trans woman I had high expectations for this book. The title implies that this will be a nuanced look at what is for many a complex subject. Unfortunately, this is not that book. "God and the Transgender Debate" is not a book for trans people. It is not even a book about trans people. It is a book for those whose worldview doesn't have room for trans people and who want "biblical" evidence to support such a view, who want to win the "debate" and be proven right. It is, at best, shallow propaganda. Walker’s exegesis is sloppy and is logic is flawed.To begin with, Walker commits the cardinal sin of hermeneutics in that he allows his preconceptions to determine his conclusion. We all have preconceptions when it comes to Scripture, especially with a subject as complex as this, yet what matters is that we set those preconceptions aside and allow the textual evidence to drive the conclusions we draw. Walker does not do this. Rather, by the time he actually engages with Scripture in Chapter 5 his argument is laid out such that the reader already knows what his conclusion is going to be. And Walker then proceeds to examine just enough Scripture to support it. The result is an overly narrow determination which ignores evidence from the text that doesn’t fit the narrative Walker advocates.In addition, Walker makes assumptions with regards to the biblical text that do not hold up logically. In Chapter 7, for example, he argues that experiencing gender dysphoria is not sinful but that transitioning, or acting upon those feelings, is. In other words, the inner reality is not sinful but acting on it in the outer reality is. To the best of my knowledge, gender dysphoria is not mentioned in Scripture yet when one examines comparable examples of inner vs outer realities you see that Walker’s assertion doesn’t hold up. In Matthew 5:28, for example, Jesus says, “I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” In terms of sinfulness, there is no difference between the inner reality of lust and the outer reality of adultery. The same is true several verses earlier where, in v. 21-22 Jesus says, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment.” The inner reality again gets you in just as much trouble as the outer one. (Please note that I’m not arguing for the sinfulness of dysphoria or transitioning. There are good reasons in the biblical text to reject such a view. I am simply demonstrating the flaw in Walker’s assertion.) Why then should a distinction be made in terms of sinfulness with regards to dysphoria and transitioning? The only rationale I can see for it is that Walker wants such a distinction to exist.Finally, it needs to said that the only compassion Walker shows in "God and the Transgender Debate" is not for trans people but rather for those who are troubled by our existence. He spends most of the latter half of the book setting up a theological “box” for trans people to live in. He cannot reject our existence altogether and so instead he sets up this box within which he will tolerate trans people. Again, given the sloppy exegesis and flawed logic which characterizes the book, the only rationale I can see for supporting such a box is that Walker wants it to exist. (For those who disagree regarding his compassion I’d ask how he shows it for people he won’t even include in a book that’s supposedly about them.)This book does not represent the level of scholarship I would expect from one associated with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. "God and the Transgender Debate" does not live up to its title. Walker is not speaking for God. He’s not even speaking from the Bible. He is, rather, speaking from his own prejudice and discomfort around trans people. If you really want to understand trans people in light of Scripture there are other, far more honest resources out there. Don’t waste your time with this one.
