Karen's Publications
Below are books, articles, and podcasts I have done on the topic of sexuality and gender beyond the articles I post on Substack. I list these additional resources here in hopes they will be helpful to you. My other publications (such as on the origins of the Bible) can be found on my ministry site The Redwood Center for Spiritual Care and Education.
