    Theology Students Given Trigger Warning Before Studying Christ's Crucifixion


    Theology Students Given Trigger Warning Before Studying Christ's Crucifixion

    University students studying the death of Christ are being given trigger warnings before being shown images of the Crucifixion.

    Theology undergraduates studying an introductory Bible course at the highly-regarded University of Glasgow are being warned that the execution may distress them.

    They are given the opportunity to skip lectures entirely if they are too fearful that the Biblical imagery may upset them....



    ...One particular lecture – on Jesus and cinema – comes with the a warning that it "contains graphic scenes of the crucifixion... this is flagged up to students beforehand".

    According to an online course specification, around 50 students a year take the lectures.

    Heightened sensitivities around the image – arguably the most famous scene in all Western culture – is the latest in a slew of trigger warnings related to fundamental parts of university courses.

    Trigger warnings have also been given to criminal law students who don't want to hear about rape, and archaeology students who are upset by skeletons....


    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    Oh, brother...

    I think... I THINK, the crucifixion is SUPPOSED to upset us.

    I have a friend who took the courses to work in a funeral home who went into shock after watching the video on how an embalming is done!
