In April 1999, at the age of 36 and just few weeks shy of 37, when she was an associate professor recently tenured and also holding a joint teaching appointment at the Centre of women studies, Butterfield converted to [[Christianity]] after repeatedly reading the [[Bible]] in large chunks for her research. Her thinking was challenged by the letter of a local pastor who inquired about her basic presuppositions and asked her questions no one had ever asked her before.
