The University of Sheffield has added 'trigger warnings' to the Bible's accounts of Jesus' life leading up to his crucifixion.
According to Freedom of Information requests, English Literature students studying biblical and classical sources were warned of
"graphic bodily injury and sexual violence"in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
- The warning also applied to Genesis' story of Cain and Abel.
- Nottingham University previously faced criticism for flagging medieval literature's
"expressions of Christian faith"
as potentially distressing content.
The University of Sheffield stated that
"a content note is a standard academic tool used to signpost when sensitive or graphic content will be discussed".
