As one of our Faculty Reading Groups for the fall semester, Dr. Mikee Delony will be leading the discussion on Elaine Heath’s book The Gospel According to Twilight: Women, Sex, and God. Heath is one of our featured guests at this year’s Summit and will be speaking on campus during that time. In her book, Heath calls attention to the good theological aspects of Stephanie Meyer’s mega-popular Twilight series, but she also includes discussions on its negative gender stereotypes and instances of violence against women. Join Dr. Delony as she uses Heath’s book as a guide for approaching Twilight with a critical Christian discernment. Stop by the front desk at the Adams Center today to sign up for the reading group and reserve your copy of the book.
