Trans Biblical

Nonbinary Characters in the Bible: Mordecai with Esther Brownsmith

Today, we dive into the book OF Esther WITH Dr. Esther Brownsmith. Esther talks about why including non-binary and trans perspective is not part of a diversity quota, but vital for seeing the Bible in new ways. Of course, we talk about her great chapter in Trans Biblical, and she gives hints about why she believes Mordecai in the book of Esther may be non-binary. Plus, she gives us insight into Bible fan fiction!
