The University of Sheffield has slapped ‘trigger warnings’ on the Bible’s account of Jesus’ life leading up to his crucifixion.
According to Freedom of Information requests obtained by The Mail on Sunday, English Literature students studying biblical and classical sources were warned of “graphic bodily injury and sexual violence” in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A similar warning was placed on Genesis’ story of Cain and Abel.
Last year, Nottingham University was criticised for flagging medieval literature’s “expressions of Christian faith” as potentially distressing content.
