Check out Prof. @CavanConcannon’s new article @RDispatches on White Evangelical Christianity and the Bible. @USCDornsife @usccrcc

[Religion Dispatches @RDispatches]

"The White evangelical Bible isn’t simply a biblical text that speaks to its readers, it’s a complicated assemblage of social, political, and theological assumptions that determine in advance how that text speaks," writes @CavanConcannon for RD: https://t.co/QrqnBkFL0E

@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

TRUE STORY: My friend Paul wrote a bunch of early Wikipedia pages on common topics. Over the years lots of people edited and added to them. Some even copied his style and used similar usernames. Eventually people got really interested in knowing which ones were Paul’s

Congrats to Duncan Williams!
