I’m team-teaching a Bible as Literature course with a theologian colleague this semester, and I am having the absolute BEST time of my entire career. I was raised Catholic but have never held any sort of religious conviction, and market myself as an atheist these days.

I haven’t given the Bible any serious consideration in probably 25 years or more, so every single class day brings so many new ideas to me and I am learning so much! This week is 1998’s THE PRINCE OF EGYPT + Exodus, and y’all, the story of Moses is WILD.

Buried in Exodus 4:25ish is a throwaway line about Moses’s wife (he was married!!) circumcising their son (they had a baby!!!) and then applying the foreskin to Moses’s feet!!! WHY????? For secret reasons!!!! Learning is so cool.

Anyway, consider this a letter of recommendation for co-teaching with a colleague outside your discipline. It’s the freaking BEST.
