“Breaking Open Gender Diversity in the Bible” is a short booklet that explores the topic of gender diversity in the Bible for gender justice activists, people of faith, and anyone else who needs to hear a gender-affirming take on Bible stories.

This resource overviews the many Bible stories of eunuchs, people whose genders were understood as neither male, nor female, but another gender altogether.

Through discussion questions and accessible language, we’ve designed this resource to support you and your communities in building a justice-centered relationship to faith and religion, founded on the principle of promoting abundant life for all people.

This activist resource from the Soulforce Spirit Resource Library explores some of the most pervasive Christian Right arguments against reproductive health access. By examining these arguments through ethical, theological, and historical lenses with a brief dive through Christian history and tradition, this resource offers tools to engage in Christian religion-based conversations about reproductive justice. 

“Breaking Open the Myths of the ‘Pro-Life’ Movement” is designed to fortify activists and people of faith in their decisions to support reproductive justice as a human rights issue and a personal choice, and help debunk some of the hypocritical messaging that has been used to convince us that God does not trust pregnant people to choose what is best for their bodies and life trajectories.

Ending Spiritual Violence and systemic oppression isn’t just about the Bible, but that is a good place to start. Many of us come from families, communities, traditions, and cultures for whom the Bible is of the utmost importance and the primary language of any conversation about how the world is or should be.

As part of our work to reclaim spirit as marginalized people, Soulforce has developed this primer on biblical literalism and inerrancy—the myths that the Bible is composed of the literal and exact words of God without mistakes or a need for specialized interpretation. Through this resource from the Soulforce Spirit Resource Library, we hope you will gain strategies for approaching and defanging the text, increase your biblical literacy, develop your personal positions on biblical inerrancy, feel more prepared to have challenging conversations about the Bible and justice, and intensify your passion for combatting Bible-based violence.
