What's in a Name? "Homosexuality" in the New Testament
 - How do sexuality and heterosexist views influence our reading of New Testament texts, particularly those (few) verses in the NT that actually address same-sex relations? Is there such a thing as "homosexuality" in the biblical world? How do modern translations of the Bible change its meaning in these verses?
-
- Queer biblical scholar Dale Martin will walk us through the meaning of the terms used in passages such as 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:9-10.
