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.
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

She’s smarter than me, so take her word for it! 👇
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.

Anti-vaccine influencers see the child’s death as proof — not of the danger of measles, but of their own debunked theories.

The seminary I work for asks faculty to contribute one blog post each academic year. I offered reflections on "Dark Seasons," a descriptor that is increasingly fitting for our current realities.
