Teaching the Bible Coming to terms with the interpretive revolution- "Although the field of biblical studies is bursting with new methods and fresh interpretations, there has been surprisingly little discussion of what these changes mean for the actual task of teaching the Bible. Happily, this volume takes significant first steps in addressing the shifts in classroom pedagogy that the new day in biblical studies urgently demands." Norman K. Gottwald Author of The Hebrew Bible: A Brief Socio-Literary Introduction "An absolutely indispensable compendium of resources for charting the changes in the discipline of biblical studies, for exposing the operations of power in past and present interpretations and uses of the Bible, and for discovering a variety of postmodernist and postcolonial pedagogies in the reading and teaching of the Bible in a radically pluralistic age." Abraham Smith Perkins School of Theology, S.M.U. "A superb collection of essays on a topic centrally important to theological education and biblical studies. It is an invaluable contribution to the new emancipatory paradigm emerging in biblical studies. Highly accessible, a must reading for anyone in the field." Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Krister Stendahl Professor of Divinity Harvard University Divinity School "Teaching the Bible engages the problem and opportunity of theological education in the twenty-first century head on. In a tightly crafted series of provocative essays, the work clearly defines the postmodern, postcolonial, culturally enriched challenges facing the academy today. For any student or scholar who wants to engage the postmodern challenge as an innovative opportunity rather than a debilitating crisis, Teaching the Bible is required reading." Brian K.

This review is from: Teaching the Bible: The Discourses and Politics of Biblical Pedagogy (Paperback)
Excellent work! Segovia and Tolbert, following their successful "Reading from this Place" volumes, offer a collection of essays that represents, for me, the best of contemporary biblical scholarship. From Musa Dube's postcolonial reading of the Great Commission to Kwok Pui-Lan's critique of the Western quest for the Historical Jesus; from Segovia's optic on empire and colony, of center and margins, to Tolbert's re-evaluation of biblical authority, readers are both challenged and inspired by these 21 essays' explicit focus on flesh-and-blood readers and their concrete social locations.
