BSRS 2333 Queering the Use of the Bible – Timothy Koch (CSR course)
8:30 am - 12:30 pm

This course will focus on connecting LGBT sensibilities directly to biblical texts, constructing matrices of meaning that speak to our individual and shared concerns. A broadly interdisciplinary approach will be employed and warmly welcomed (including cultural analysis, fairy tell, biblical stories, and personal/communal experience), in working toward a paradigm for the use of scriptural texts that is authentically liberative for queer folks whether in or out of the academy, in or out of organized religion. Lectures, class discussion, journaling and final paper/project.
