This article just came out in Time magazine having originally been published on The Conversation. It may be a useful reminder of ways certain ways of promoting Scripture Engagement may unintentionally end up doing as much harm as good.

I posted it as related to the topic of Scripture engagement, something of concern to most/many in the world of Bible translation. It seems the article depends mainly on the possibility that in some settings the offering of a school-sponsored Bible class could (if effective steps are not taken to prevent it) result in harassment, discrimination or worse, based on group dynamics related to identity formation and the identification of insiders and outsiders...
