In this episode, Scot McKnight and Cody Matchett talk with Dr. Suzanna Krivulskaya about her recent monograph, Disgraced.
Suzanna Krivulskaya (pronounced Soo-ZAH-nah Kree-VOOL-ska-ya) is Associate Professor of History at California State University San Marcos. Originally from Minsk, Belarus, she earned her Bachelor’s degree at LCC International University in Lithuania before moving to the United States to first pursue her Master of Arts in Religion at Yale Divinity School and, later, her Ph.D. in History from the University of Notre Dame. Her scholarship considers the relationship between religion and sexuality in modern U.S. history. Her first book, Disgraced: How Sex Scandals Transformed American Protestantism, recently published by Oxford University Press, is a sweeping religious and cultural history of religion, scandal, and sexuality in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through a careful study of some of the most consequential as well as never before written about sex scandals involving American clergy, Suzanna’s book traces how journalists, churches, and the reading public navigated the many publicity crises that followed the revelations of pastoral misdeeds.
