African and European Readers of the Bible in Dialogue: In Quest of a Shared Meaning: Studies of Religion in Africa, cartea 32
Autor Gerald West, Hans (J.H) de Witen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iun 2008
More than twenty theologians from Africa and Europe reflect together on how readers from radically different contexts – professional and ordinary alike –, may become allies in an ethically accountable way of relating the biblical text to their current (global) situations and how a process of mutual learning may be established.
This book provides important insights in intercultural hermeneutics, the relationship between classical historico-literary approaches and new forms of interpretation. It also gives examples of new forms of how to read the Bible in the secularised European context and the HIV/Aids stricken Africa. Particularly enriching is that every contribution is followed by a personal letter of response of another contributor to the book, giving impulses for further dialogue and debate.
The book is useful for all biblical scholars and students, in particular for those interested in how to do contextual exegesis in a manner that also takes into account the context of the other.

Recenzii
"This book will inspire those who read it to explore the “joy of dialogue” with the “dignity of difference”. On the one hand, it helped me to see the potential and opportunity, and on the other, the growing need for Africans and Europeans to engage in fruitful dialogue so that we can learn from one another and build a stronger bridge between the two continents."
Kobus Kok, University of Pretoria, Missionalia 37:2
"Each article is based on a presentation at the conference and is followed by a letter in response from another participant representing a different perspective. This format is frustratingly effective, in that the reader is left eager to see the next round of the exchange."
H.S. Pyper, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, 33:5
"Thank you very much for this book, which takes great efforts to bring European and African scholars together, and will demand many re-readings and prompt much discussion. I hope it does not become a final chapter in this fascinating and necessary dialogue."
Fergus King, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Mission Studies 27
