@JillHicksKeeton and I have a new book! Tired of hearing about @museumofBible’s scandals? This book is not that. It’s a call to rethink biblical studies, follow the funding behind #ChristianNationalism, and attend to how white evangelical institutions work https://t.co/KfVZsEzmRq

New reporting from @propublica shows Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been secretly accepting gifts from a GOP donor for years. As @CavanConcannon and @JillHicksKeeton wrote for RD in Sept. 2022, right-wing money shapes the Supreme Court today: https://t.co/QVVOkLv2oK

So very excited that @JillHicksKeeton will be joining @usc_religion! This is great news for USC, our students, and (obviously) me!

[Amy Laura Hall @ProfligateGrace]

This brave scholar is a graduate of @DukeDivinity so I’m sure we will want to acknowledge her lecture with a RT.
@DukeGSF @DukeNews please note whether or not her alma mater does so ♥️

[Cavan Concannon @CavanConcannon]

Thanks for reading our book!

Chapter 5 churns my stomach
References @SkyeJethani for his "evangelical industrial complex" and the work of @kkdumez

An excellent read

This is clearly heresy. The only literal, orthodox way to read Jesus’ phrase is to carry around fishing poles to hook people in public, pagan places. Interpretation and historical context is fine so long as it is confined to debating what bait Jesus would have used.

Things they don’t teach you in grad school when you are introduced to Sources Chrétiennes…

[Whores of Yore @WhoresofYore]

This is Cardinal Jean Daniélou (1905-74). He was a French theologian, historian & author of many books on Catholicism & spirituality. He also died of a heart attack in the Parisian home of Sex worker, Mimi Santoni, with a lot of money in his pocket.
