From Baptist Roots to Trans Hermeneutics: A Conversation with Mack Griffith

Introducing Mack Griffith (soon to be Dr. Griffith) You’re going to be enchanted by emerging New Testament scholar Mack Griffith—soon-to-be Dr. Griffith—to explore reading the Bible through a trans-positive lens. Mack shares his journey from a fundamentalist Baptist background to coming out as queer, all the while digging into trans theories in the Gospel of John, offering fresh insights on “recognition scenes” (think: the man born blind, Doubting Thomas, Jesus’s trials) as powerful moments of self-identification and revelation. Along the way, we discuss why trans biblical interpretation matters today: how a diversity of approaches prevents monolithic readings, how these methods invite cis listeners into empathy by recognizing shared experiences of estrangement, and why studying scripture this way feels like resistance against harmful narratives.
