Divinity School in Texas Seeks Prof to Teach Bible From ‘Queer’ and ‘Womanist’ Perspective
“Scholars from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply”
This is how we end up with James Talarico-style Christians, and it is completely intentional.
The College Fix reports:
Divinity school seeks professor to teach Bible from ‘queer’ and ‘womanist’ perspective
A divinity school affiliated with Texas Christian University wants to examine the Bible through a “queer” and “womanist” lens, according to a job opening.
The Brite Divinity School is currently seeking a full-time professor in the “Hebrew Bible” who is knowledgeable about “gender and sexuality studies, womanist, feminist, queer, postcolonial, postmodern, and racial/cultural studies.”
In addition to being able to “engage texts critically” through “hermeneutical approaches,” it also helps to not be a white male.
“Scholars from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply,” the job posting also states.
The Brite Divinity School did not respond to an email and phone call from The College Fix in the past several weeks that sought comment on the job posting.
Texas Christian University said while the seminary is on its campus, it is not directly connected.”“Brite Divinity School is an independent theological seminary,” Holly Ellman, the associate director of communications, told The Fix via email. “While the school is located within the boundaries of TCU’s campus, since 1914 the seminary has operated under its own governance and board of trustees.”
Still, the job posting says the divinity school is “affiliated with Texas Christian University” and offers “collaborative degrees” with the college.
A statement on the “relationship with TCU” explains the school has an agreement with Brite “to provide essential administrative support, operational and maintenance services, and the vision of both institutions to assure a continuing spirit of mutual involvement, cooperation, and support for the benefit of students, staff, and faculty.”

Comments
Not only are they seeking a professor, I suspect they will be seeking students, as well. I hope their search for students is fruitless.
Jesus missed a huge bet by neglecting to trademark “Christian” and “Christianity.”
There is no queer lens to interpret the Bible, there is simply text stating homosexuality is an abomination and that those who practice such depravity merit death.
So should Christianity adopt Sharia style law and start tossing faggots off skyscrapers, or adhere to NT civil v moral law distinctions whereby Paul writing in Romans 1 saying that those who practice homosexuality deserve death is making a spiritual not legal argument?
Those who push fluid reinterpretation of Scripture open the door to inverse fluidity, and given the soaring influence of Islam and Sharia in the West, the latter is the interpretation more likely to ultimately triumph.

Can’t wait until OHSU looks for a pain control/anesthesiologist to teach from the street-junkie perspective. I remember one junkie arguing with me that smoking meth vs injecting it wasn’t why teeth fell out. At least I think he was arguing, because it was pretty hard for him to enunciate with his half dozen remaining teeth.
