The Bible: Morally Bankrupt or Totally Reliable - Percolator Chicago — The taxi driver who dropped me off at McCormick Place, the convention center where the annual joint conference of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature is being held, asked if it was a meeting of religious people—like nuns and priests. There are nuns and priests in attendance, for sure, along with Baptists, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims, but it’s a gathering of religious scholars, not a revival meeting, and plenty of the people here don’t subscribe to any faith tradition; they just spend their lives studying them. Naturally, there is a lot of talk about the Bible. “You Shall Not Boil a Kid in Its Mother’s Milk: The Dietary Law That Wasn’t”“The Divine Unsub: Television Procedurals and Biblical Sexual Violence”“‘Dude Looks Like a Lady’: Queering Wisdom in Proverbs 1-9″“Adam as Alpha Male: Genesis 1-3, Christian Domestic Discipline, and the Erotics of Wife Spanking”“When Supervillains Cite Scripture” I’m obviously cherry-picking the flashy ones.
