Engaging voices crossing textual limits, race, and ethnic lines

In this collection of essays, scholars from Oceania open a new dialog regarding the vast, complex, and slippery nature of the Bible and the fluid meanings of borders and belongings. From belonging in a place, a group, or movement to belongings as material and cultural possessions, from borders of a text, discipline, or thought to borders of nations, communities, or bodies, the authors follow the currents of Oceania to the shores of Asia and beyond. Scholars contributing essays include Jeffrey W. Aernie, Merilyn Clark, Jione Havea, Gregory C. Jenks, Jeanette Mathews, Judith E. McKinlay, Monica Jyotsna Melanchthon, David J. Neville, John Painter, Kathleen P. Rushton, Ruth Sheridan, Nasili Vaka‘uta, and Elaine M. Wainwright. Michele A. Connolly, David M. Gunn, and Mark G. Brett provide responses to the essays.

Features:

Discussion of the impacts of natural disasters and political and ecological upheavals on biblical interpretation and theological reflection

Fourteen essays on texts in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament

Three responses to the essays provide a range of views on the topics

Fresh views of old texts from Oceanic eyes

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

The essays in this book question and offer fresh understandings of well-known texts from both the Old and New Testament. The writers link the texts to contemporary contexts and events in Oceania and view them from border places, in the text and in today's society, where minority or ignored groups and their cultures are located. Groups of people who are often ignored in the Bible and in today's society are given a voice which can enrich our knowledge and understanding of these old texts.
