SUMMARY:“‘What you sew, you shall rip’: The Bible, Horror, and Captivity in Appa
lachia”
DESCRIPTION:\nThe CAMS Department and the Religious Studies Initiative p
resent a talk by Rev. Ethan R. Johnson:\n\n“‘What you sew\, you shall ri
p’: The Bible\, Horror\, and Captivity in Appalachia”\n\nEvangelical pre
aching and confessional scholarship often take for granted that God’s ac
tions in the Book of Numbers are morally right. Drawing on insights from
monster theory\, this paper considers whether Numbers invites a more da
ring and critical question: does God do good or evil? The questions we a
llow ourselves to ask of this text carry implications for Appalachian co
mmunities that can be both sustained and held captive by their religious
traditions.\n\nLight refreshments will be served.\n\nFor more details:

“‘What you sew, you shall rip’: The Bible, Horror,

Evangelical preaching and confes
sional scholarship often take for granted that God’s actions in the Book
of Numbers are morally right. Drawing on insights from monster theory,
this paper considers whether Numbers invites a more daring and critical
question: does God do good or evil? The questions we allow ourselves to
ask of this text carry implications for Appalachian communities that can
be both sustained and held captive by their religious traditions.
Light refreshments will be served.
