During the Fall of 2020, my college course on the "Theologies of Gender and Identity" was forced to go virtual. This video is one of the pre-recorded lectures from that course that I would like to share with a larger audience. Feel free to respectfully comment and question and I will respond in kind.
This lecture explores the traditional "texts of terror" or "clobber passages" that have been used to justify the marginalization of the LGBTQ people -- namely Genesis 19 (Sodom); Romans 1:26-27; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; 1 Timothy 1:9-11 // 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; and Genesis 1-2 (Adam and Eve). For each passage, we'll apply exegetical tools to determine whether or not this marginalization is justified.
The format of this lecture features a compilation of previous videos from this channel's Queer Theology series. Most of these videos have been updated and include an additional commentary in between each topic.
Recommended Reading:
"Misguided Love: Christians and the Rupture of LGBTQI2+ People" by Charles Fensham; Chapter 4.
