A Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testament Writings: Bible and Postcolonialism
Editat de Fernando F. Segovia, Professor R. S. Sugirtharajahen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 aug 2009
Since
its
emergence
a
few
years
ago,
postcolonial
biblical
criticism
has
witnessed
swift
expansion
and
development
in
Biblical
Studies.
This
critical
approach
has
been
increasingly
applied
to
biblical
texts
as
well
as
modern
and
postmodern
interpretations
and
interpreters
of
these
texts,
yielding
an
ever-growing
body
of
dissertations,
scholarly
articles,
and
volumes.
In
the
process,
this
approach
has
become
increasingly
sophisticated
as
well
in
matters
of
method
and
theory.
This
Postcolonial
Commentary
on
the
New
Testament
Writings
represents
a
critical
benchmark
in
postcolonial
biblical
criticism.
Indeed,
the
Commentary
stands
as
the
most
comprehensive
application
to
date
of
postcolonial
criticism
to
the
biblical
texts,
with
its
focus
on
the
entire
corpus
of
the
New
Testament.
It
places
the
reality
and
ramifications
of
imperial-colonial
frameworks
and
relations
at
the
centre
of
biblical
criticism.
The
various
entries
pursue
their
analysis
across
a
broad
range
of
concerns
and
through
a
number
of
different
approaches.
They
show,
among
other
things,
how
texts
and
interpretations
construct
and/or
relate
to
their
respective
imperial-colonial
contexts;
foreground
literary,
rhetorical,
and
ideological
marks
of
coloniality
and
postcoloniality
in
both
texts
and
interpretations;
reveal
how
postcolonial
reading
strategies
disrupt
and
destabilize
hegemonic
biblical
criticism;
and
engage
in
critical
dialogue
with
the
visions
and
projects
identified
in
texts
as
well
as
in
interpretations.
Toward
this
end,
the
Commentary
has
recourse
to
a
highly
distinguished
and
diversified
roster
of
scholars,
making
this
a
definite
point
of
reference
for
years
to
come.

"this book is really a major landmark in postcolnial biblical criticism" Journal for the study of the New Testament, 30 May 2008
"This interesting and valuable volume offers the most comprehensive postcolonial treatment of the NT writings to date, and it includes many of the leading theorists in this regard. Recommended for students and scholars in biblical studies." Religious Studies Review, September 2009
"This book is a good resource for all serious students of Scripture." The Expository Times, 1st May, 2010.
"Highly integrative critical analysis of each of the New Testament writings are provided by eminent theologians mostly from the anglophone world, but also the Philippines and Brazil. In a 68-page introduction, Segovia compares the contributions in terms of the meaning and scope of postcolonial criticism, approach and argument in postcolonial criticism, the Christian Church and the Roman Empire in postcolonial criticism, and interpretive findings and critical stance. Sugirtharajah presents an epilogue on the next phase of postcolonial and biblical interpretation. The anthology was first published in 2007 as volume 13 of the Bible and Postcolonialism series."-Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
'A Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testament Writings provides a much-needed fresh look at the writings of the New Testament. It does so with the big questions in mind that are now reshaping not only the various fields of religious studies but academic inquiry as a whole. . . . In sum, this Commentary is a marvelous achievement of which people in my field, systematic theology, can only dream at this point, although some of us have begun the world.'
Book note in Interpretation
" Segovia and Sugirtharajah do not need presentations: they are leading scholars in the field of postcolonial biblical criticism. This co-edited book is a living testimony to the interdisciplinary approach and creativity which characterises their work. Using different methodological approaches, the contributions are both original and well researched. A Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testament Writings is a very impressive book: Highly recommended." Marcella Althaus-Reid, University of Edinburgh, UK
"The publication of this Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testament is an event to be celebrated. These studies are uniformly well written by scholars already known to us for their excellent scholarship, and here they continue to provoke us to new levels of encountering the New Testament with chapters that are informative, at times even inspiring, always provocative, and more than a little unsettling. At last we are moving beyond tedious methodological debates and we finally have a very useful tool for New Testament study that is written for the issues of the third millennium. At last we have a progressive and substantial resource that can be among the first tools we turn to in reading or teaching the Bible...These essays invite us to read the Bible very seriously - and they establish clearly that there are social and political realities of reading the Biblical texts, not only in it's own historic context, but inescapably in our modern context as readers and interpreters. The writers of this commentary courageously challenge Bible readings and traditions that have often contributed to very real abuses. But even more importantly - many of these chapters offer genuine directions forward for Biblical Theologies that can assist all of us in building new societies of hope and change. These learned readers of the New Testament effectively insist that we pay attention to the issues and peoples who have too long been callously left out or conveniently left behind." Daniel L. Smith-Christopher, Loyola Marymount University, California, USA
'Anyone with an interest in the complicated dynamic of how early Christian and Jewish identity related to Roman Imperial culture will surely find this commentary highly valuable. The work as a whole is highly impressive and gives ample invitations for continued research and discussions.' Hans Leaner, RBL 10/2008
'This Postcolonial Commentary on every book of the New Testament is a major and welcome achievement, and I agree with Segovia's comment in the introduction that it is "a collection of incredible breadth and immense richness"' Jonathan A. Draper, RBL 10/2008
