    Pro Homo: The Scientific and Theological Implications of the Kinsey Reports on Modern Christianity

    Play Episode Listen Later May 10, 2022 41:31


    Hey friends! It's time for another grad school/Conversations mash up! I will be chatting about the impact of the Kinsey Report (first of its kind report on human sexuality, late 1940s/early 1950s) on Christian thought, particularly in American contexts. Because this is a research paper, I share all of my citations in the video, and below in this description. If you want the TL:DR, the Kinsey Reports galvanized two distinct and opposing theological interpretations of the Biblical view of sexuality, particularly in regard to queerness. I assert that the Kinsey reports inspired a virulent and boisterous anti LGBTQ strain of Christianity that is interconnected to themes of Christian Nationalism, Patriarchy, and Patriotism. At the same time, the Kinsey Report empowered liberal protestants to engage their theology in conversation with the developing understanding of humanity. By contrast, conservatives coalesced around staunch opposition to progress in any form. I propose that, as a result of comprehensive and ongoing research, it is evident that queerness is not condemned by Christianity in antiquity.Anti LGBTQ religious rhetoric is a result of anachronistic readings of the scripture.The freedom and diversity of queerness is opposed by the American Evangelical constellation of churches because it frees individuals from peonage to the church. I look forward to hearing your thoughts after you have listened to this video! - Leo Works Cited (in order of reference in video) 1) Johnson, Robert C. “Kinsey vs. Christianity: A Clash of ‘Paradigms' on Human Nature.” Quarterly Journal of Speech, vol. 61, no. 1, 1975, pp. 59–70., https://doi.org/10.1080/00335637509383269. 2) Griffith, R., 2008.

    Elle Dowd joins us to chat about a reformation sexual ethic, loving ourselves FOR our uniqueness, and what it means to drink from the fountain of a new understanding of being.    For years Elle Dowd considered herself an advocate for justice, but her well-meaning support always took a back burner to what Martin Luther King Jr. called the tension-free, ordered "negative peace" of white moderates. Then Michael Brown, a Black man, was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent Uprising changed everything.   Like in baptism, this transformation requires parts of us to die: our lack of power analysis, our commitment to white niceness, our tone policing, our respectability politics--all of those impulses we have been socialized by since birth must die so that something new can be resurrected in our lives and in the world. The uprising in Ferguson changed Dowd, and through it, God made her into something new.    To get in touch with Elle and to keep up with updates,  you can visit her website www.elledowd.com and subscribe to her newsletter.    You can also see her online ministry via Facebook.com/elledowdministry  or follow her on Twitter/SnapChat/Insta @hownowbrowndowd  or on TikTok @elledowdministry  Pre-order Elle's book “Baptized in Tear Gas: From White Moderate to Abolitionist” https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/product/9781506470429/Baptized-in-Tear-Gas  If you are interested in helping Conversations Official continue to create spiritual minded conversations about life, please subscribe to the podcast and share it on your social media.  If you would like to contribute financially, you can visit https://www.patreon.com/Conversationsofficial​ to establish a monthly contribution or https://www.buymeacoffee.com/convosofficial to drop off a one time donation.  Currently donations and merchandise sales are being used to obtain captioning and transcription services to make the podcast and videos more accessible.  For more Conversations Official check out conversationsofficial.com  or on social media at  Facebook.com/conversationsofficial  Facebook: Conversations Official Group  Instagram: Conversations_Official  Twitter: Convosofficial  Discord https://discord.gg/ySaxMxh7W3​ TikTok spirituallynbleowt
