For theologians seeking fresh biblical insights

Challenges traditional views on the Bible and theology

You will gain a deeper understanding of faith's context

This book explores new ways to read the Bible and theology through a postcolonial lens.

The essays assembled in this volume constitute a counter discourse to the existing understandings of the Bible and Christian theology. Applying postcolonial critical categories within the theological discipline, Sugirtharajah calls into question some of the established notions about the relationship between the Bible, theology and colonialism. Among the issues the volume deals with are: the status and standing of the Bible; colonial appropriation of biblical texts and postcolonial reappraisal of them; the fate of the Bible outside its natural habitat; the permeation of the ideologies of empire in Christian theology and biblical interpretation; potency and pitfalls of Third World theological discourse and the hazards of brokering texts from other cultures in Western metropolitan centres. Postcolonial Reconfigurations is a major critical intervention in the current debates surrounding the Bible and Christian Theology. Written in an easy style, it, offers not only an illuminative reassessment but also signals a significant next step for theological discourse.
