Postcolonial Biblical Criticism : Interdisciplinary Intersections Paperback / softback
by Fernando F. Segovia, Professor Stephen D. (Drew University, USA) Moore
Part of the Bible and Postcolonialism series
Paperback / softback
Description
Postcolonial studies have recently made significant inroads into biblical studies, giving rise to numerous conference papers, articles, essays and books. "Postcolonial Biblical Criticism" is the most in-depth and multifaceted introduction to this emerging field to date.
It probes postcolonial biblical criticism from a number of different but interrelated angles in order to bring it into as sharp a focus as possible, so that its promise - and potential pitfalls - can be better appreciated.
This volume carefully positions postcolonial biblical criticism in relation to other important political and theoretical currents in contemporary biblical studies: feminism; racial/ethnic studies; poststructuralism; and Marxism.
Alternating between hermeneutical and exegetical reflection, the essays cumulatively isolate and evaluate the definitive features of postcolonial biblical criticism.
Such a mapping of postcolonial biblical criticism as a whole has never before been undertaken in such explicit and detailed terms.
The contributors include Roland Boer, Laura E. Donaldson, David Jobling, Tat-siong Benny Liew, Stephen D.
Moore and Fernando F. Segovia.
