Rosaria Champagne Butterfield (born 1962) is a writer, speaker, homemaker, and former tenured professor of English at Syracuse University.

Career

Butterfield, who earned her Ph.D. from Ohio State University in English Literature, served in the English Department and Women’s Studies Program at Syracuse University from 1992 to 2002. During her academic career, she published the book The Politics of Survivorship: Incest, Women's Literature, and Feminist Theory as well as many scholarly articles.[1] Her academic interest was focused on feminist theory, queer theory and 19th century British literature. She was awarded tenure in 1999, the same year that she converted to Christianity. She married in 2001.

Autobiography

Growing up, Butterfield attended predominantly liberal Catholic schools.[2] She is most widely known today for her autobiography The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: An English Professor's Journey into the Christian Faith, in which she details her transformation from a postmodernist into a Bible-believing[3] Christian. For nearly a decade, she lived as an openly lesbian activist. While researching the Religious Right and their "politics of hatred"[4] against the queer community,[5] she wrote an article criticizing the evangelical organization Promise Keepers. Ken Smith, the then-pastor of the Syracuse Reformed Presbyterian Church, wrote to her regarding this article[6] and invited her to dinner.[7] Her subsequent friendship with the Smiths led to her re-evaluation of her presuppositions.[8] Two years later, Butterfield converted to evangelical Christianity. Following her conversion, she developed a ministry to college students. She now frequently speaks at churches and universities about her experience. She has taught and ministered at Geneva College. She now lives in Durham, North Carolina with her husband, Kent Butterfield, a pastor, and their children.

Hospitality

One of the hallmarks of Butterfield's writing is the focus on what she calls "radically ordinary" Christian hospitality.[9] Having been a beneficiary of the practice herself, she writes, "To me, hospitality is the ground zero of the Christian faith."[10] She differentiates this from entertaining guests, saying that "In counterfeit hospitality, there is a very fixed relationship between host and guest. In Christian hospitality, it's a very fluid relationship."[11] In an interview, she has stated that "In the past, [Christians] have set [their boundaries] according to [their] checkbook and according to [their] calendar. In a post-Christian world, we are called to set them according to the blood of Christ."[12] Butterfield encourages Christians "to get close enough to put the hand of the stranger into the hand of the Savior,”[13] and that "it hurts, and it's good. And the Lord equips."[14] In her book The Gospel Comes with a House Key, she indicates that her hospitality is "not showy or fancy"[15] and that letting go of one's allegiance to the "idols of our day: consumerism and sexual autonomy" is essential[16] to making room for others.

Repentance

In many "of her books and interviews, Bf soield stresses the importance of repentance to the Christian life, pointing to examples of Puritans like Thomas Watson and John Owen. She states that the Puritans "knew how to hate their sin without hating themselves because they understood that Christ’s grace is an ever-present Person, a Person who understands our situation and our needs better than we do."[17] Citing Colossians 3:1 and 3:5, she writes, "Our call is not to despair, but to hope in Christ and to drive a fresh nail into our choice sin every day."[18] In her autobiography, she writes that "repentance requires greater intimacy with God than with our sin. How much greater? About the size of a mustard seed. Repentance requires that we draw near to Jesus, no matter what. And sometimes we all have to crawl there on our hands and knees."[19] Butterfield states that "repentance is the threshold to God"[20] and that "good neighbors never put a stumbling block between a fellow image bearer and the God who made her."[21] "If you love your neighbors," she writes, "you would never deny them this threshold."[22]

Other views

Butterfield does not identify herself as "ex-gay" and believes that same-sex-attracted Christians should not identify as gay Christians since "[t]he job of the adjective is to change the noun."[23] Butterfield has criticized conversion therapy for contending that the "primary goal of Christianity is to resolve homosexuality through heterosexuality, thus failing to see that repentance and victory over sin are God's gifts and failing to remember that sons and daughters of the King can be full members of Christ's body and still struggle with sexual temptation." In the past, Butterfield had suggested that conversion therapy's fixation on "healing" homosexuals is a version of the prosperity gospel.[24] However, she has since qualified this statement[25] by clarifying that her critique applied to the type of counseling that prioritizes sanctification over justification.

As a former scholar of Freud, Butterfield identifies sexual orientation as a "19th-century invention"[26] and a "category mistake"[27] that goes against biblical anthropology. She holds that "gay may be how someone feels, but [can] never be who someone inherently is,"[28] and has chided the Side B movement for treating sexual orientation as an ontologically accurate category[29] and thus "conceding the moral language to the Left" and falsifying the gospel.[30]

Despite previously having approved of using preferred pronouns of trans-identifying individuals, she has since retracted this position, saying that "By affirming a lie, [our action] encourages people [with gender dysphoria] to break the tenth commandment [i.e. you shall not covet (your neighbor's anatomy)]."[31]
