Bible labeled with warning by British university
Graphic content, graphic bodily injury, sexual violence, and sensitive content. These were some of the descriptions a university in the United Kingdom used to issue a warning to students studying the Bible. The University of Sheffield has placed “trigger warnings” on literary works that examine the Crucifixion of Christ and other events in the Bible. The school also flagged the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as well as the book of Genesis. The Biblical study is a part of a course for English Literature students. University officials released a statement claiming the warnings are to help prepare students who might find the details of the subject matter “difficult”. Critics in the Christian community and historians called the warnings misguided and absurd. Another university in the UK, Nottingham University was also criticized for attempting to label passages from the Bible as violence and explicit. University officials in that case also defended their warning claiming the content warning was for students from a non-Christian background.
Finnish politician continues years long battle in court
A politician in Finland is awaiting a decision in her case from that nation’s Supreme Court. Paivi Rasanen’s case has been appealed to the Supreme Court of Finland. The years’ long case stemmed from the Finnish lawmaker referencing Biblical scriptures on her private social media page. Rasanen in 2019 spoke out against homosexuality, by quoting Romans 1:24-27, which condemns this lifestyle as sinful. The tweet resulted in the former politician being charged with two criminal charges and several years of fighting the case in court, which continues to this day. If convicted, Rasanen and another defendant will be charged with thousands of dollars in fines and possible censorship. Critics says this case is an opportunity for Finland’s highest court to protect freedom of speech in that nation and the rest of Europe.
