The University of Chicago, incorporated by Baptist Christians in the 19th century, is now running a course titled ‘Queering God’ from Dr. Olivia Bustion.
“Can God be an ally in queer worldmaking? Is God queer? What does queerness have to do with Judaism, Christianity, or Islam?” the introduction to the course on the University of Chicago website asks, promising to “[introduce] students to foundational concepts in queer and trans studies by focusing on queer Jewish, Christian, and Islamic theologies.”
The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality (CSGS) which hosts the ‘Queering God’ course hosts a dizzying array of similar courses, including one which claims the New Testament apocrypha “champion[s] a female, cross-dressing ascetic Christ-missionary,” and another which questions whether it is “ethical to have children” in light of climate change.
Such content extends well beyond the CSGS at the University of Chicago, which also runs a Critical Race Theory (CRT) course titled ‘The Problem of Whiteness’.
