Newman University, Birmingham, tells students studying the holy book that the module ‘includes themes of sexual violence and abuse – in images and biblical texts’.
Certain passages are flagged up as especially problematic, including a chapter of 2 Samuel in the Old Testament, about David, the King of Israel who had previously slain Goliath.
The passage, marked ‘SV’ to denote sexual violence, tells of David’s adulterous affair with Bathsheba and the role he played in the death of her husband Uriah the Hittite.

I'm sure the Koran will be next.

Actually the Koran will be elevated in the UK at the expense of the Bible. Muslims get preferential treatment there, and the most vicious Muslim criminals simply get a slap on the wrist. In the meantime a Christian pastor who preaches the truth gets jailed.

Sad to see the UK going to Hell like this.
I'm sure the Koran will be next. Uh huh, sure. Yep. Any day now, not!

Which is ironic, because Muslims - at least some sects - are infamous for sexual violence. Never having read the Koran, I can't say it teaches it, but I would not be surprised if it were in there. As compared to the bible, which teaches against all forms of exploitation - even slaves were given protections.

On a positive note, the rating is sure to attract a whole new range of readers. Not for the right reasons, of course. But God's word is powerful, no matter the motivation for reading it.
