Very humbled and excited to share this endorsement from Valerie Bridgeman for our forthcoming edited volume on Wesleyan Biblical Interpretation. Thank you, @valeriebridgeman1.bsky.social, for reading it so carefully.
An image of the edited volume titled Reading Scripture in Wesleyan Ways with Valerie Bridgeman’s endorsement: "Reading Scripture in Wesleyan Ways is a must read and a must have, not only for scholars and preachers of the Wesleyan tradition, but also laity and people within ecumenical Christianity and yes, non-Christians. I hope every seminary, no matter its affiliations, will make it required reading. I am sure that no reader will agree with every essay, and that there will be other essays that will be read over and over. But for historical, hermeneutical, theological, and pastoral reasons, everyone owes it to themselves to engage this volume. It is readable and well-researched. Each writer is honest about their positions, their starting points, and their commitments. What a gift!”

Excited to see this article, which took me approximately 1,000 years to get out into the world, published in an issue.

Autism is not a disease; there is no “autism epidemic.”

Note how such rhetoric portrays people on the autism spectrum: it identifies part if their selfhood as a disease that should be eradicated. These are very dangerous, ableist presuppositions. #disability

“To tell these stories now is not just an academic act. It is a spiritual one. It is to recover a humanity that was deliberately stripped. It is to stare back at the past without blinking.”

Vaccine skepticism has led to suffering and death, and this could lead to more. Importantly, pay attention to the rhetoric in related discussions: it often *others*’l people on the autism spectrum as a societal problem to be addressed. #disability

If you're interested in how people interpret the Bible, check out Reading Scripture in Wesleyan Ways, a collection of essays by fine scholars bringing different perspectives, questions, and methods. As Dean Bridgeman says, It's a must read for Christians & non-Christians, scholars, pastors & laity.
