This review is from: Through the Eyes of Another: Intercultural Reading of the Bible (Paperback)

From the book:
In every respect, the intercultural Bible reading project documented in this volume is a major and praiseworthy achievement. It takes various critical, ecclesial, and theological developments a significant step forward: reader response criticism, with its concern for real readers and their reading sites; basic communities, with their focus on community pairings and sustained interchange; and global Christianity, with its emphasis on intercultural exchange and a worldwide network of readers and groups. All of this by way of a focused discussion on a coordinating text-the encounter of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4. This book presents a path-breaking model for future research and reading in intercultural criticism. --Fernando F. Segovia

5.0 out of 5 stars An acute documentation of the three year research study of the encounter between Jesus Christ and a Samaritan woman, March 12, 2006

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Through the Eyes of Another: Intercultural Reading of the Bible (Paperback)

Through The Eyes Of Another: Intercultural Reading Of The Bible co-edited with precision by theologians and Biblical scholars Hans de Wit, Louis Jonker, Marleen Kool, and Daniel Schipani is an acute documentation of the three year research study of the encounter between Jesus Christ and a Samaritan woman. Compiling multiple essays and writings of the highly documented study, Through The Eyes Of Another has intently and proudly verified yet another historical happening scripted in the Bible, giving high praise for the revolutionary discoveries of the greatly attuned researchers. Through The Eyes Of Another is confidently recommended to all students and historians of the Christian faith, as well as those intrigued by the historical significance of the Bible's scriptures for diverse cultural issues.
