Rosaria Butterfield – 5 lies of our anti-Christian age
In 1997, while Rosaria Butterfield was researching the Religious Right “and their politics of hatred against people like me,” she wrote an article against the Promise Keepers. In 1999, after repeatedly reading the Bible in large chunks for her research, Rosaria converted to Christianity. She recently gave a convocation at Liberty University, a Christian university located in central Virginia in the US. The bigger story here is not that Rosaria Butterfield is calling out heresy in church circles, but that Liberty University, by platforming her, is taking a stand against liberal theology when many so-called Christian universities are either compromising or have completely lost their way.
A POWERFUL TESTIMONY TO 15,000 STUDENTS
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Rosaria Butterfield – but at the end of last year, she spoke at Liberty University. Even if you haven’t heard of Rosaria, you need to hear this speech.
Rosaria Butterfield was raised and educated in liberal Catholic settings, and she fell in love with the world of words. In her late twenties, allured by feminist philosophy and LGBTQ+ advocacy, she adopted a lesbian identity. Rosaria earned her PhD from Ohio State University, then served in the English department and women’s studies program at Syracuse University from 1992 to 2002. Her primary academic field was critical theory, specializing in queer theory. Her historical focus was 19th-century literature, informed by Freud, Marx, and Darwin. She advised the LGBTQ+ student group, wrote Syracuse University’s policy for same-sex couples, and actively lobbied for LGBTQ+ aims alongside her lesbian partner.
In 1997, while Rosaria was researching the Religious Right “and their politics of hatred against people like me,” she wrote an article against the Promise Keepers. In 1999, after repeatedly reading the Bible in large chunks for her research, Rosaria converted to Christianity. Her first book, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, details her conversion and the cataclysmic fallout—in which she lost “everything but the dog,” yet gained eternal life in Christ.
Her most recent book is “Five lies of our anti-Christian age”
