Reviews
“This overtly political practical theology provides chaplains and other healthcare workers with concepts and practices to hate-proof hospitals on behalf of trans people. Writing with a theologian's heart, a lawyer's mind, and a bodhisattva's compassion, Yetunde identifies the constitutional and legal literacies chaplains can develop to help protect the civil and religious rights of trans people as they are deliberately erased and exposed to harm by the Religious Right in collusion with the Trump regime. Yetunde draws on the Christian New Testament, Buddhist sacred texts, and womanist theology to articulate the Parable of Our Collective Survival as a touchstone for effective public pastoral theology and trans advocacy. The book makes important contributions to spiritual care for trans communities and to the emerging pastoral literature of Buddhist-Christian studies. No other scholar could have written this text.”
–Duane Bidwell, Professor of Practical Theology, Spiritual Care, and Counseling, Claremont School of Theology, USA
“Integrating passionate socio-political engagement and legal acumen with spiritual insight from Buddhist and Christian traditions, the author makes a convincing case for welcoming and full inclusion of the vulnerable among us who tend to be despised by many in society, making an appeal for disobedience, resistance, and eventual transformation of oppressive laws designed to exclude "the least of these (Mt. 25:40)."
–Ruben L.F. Habito, Professor of World Religions and Spirituality, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, USA
