Book Synopsis Decolonizing Biblical Studies by : Fernando F. Segovia
Book excerpt: Over the last quarter of a century the field of biblical studies has seen radical changes in the conception, practice and teaching of biblical criticism. In Decolonizing Biblical Studies, Fernando Segovia analyzes the models and practices at work in biblical criticism and pedagogy, in particular the emerging voices of the non-Western world. By exploring the principles that underlie all contextual readings of scripture -- Hispanic/Latino(a), Black, feminist, and Third World -- he offers a powerful challenge to the dominant paradigms of biblical interpretation.
