The meaningful juxtaposition of academics (“experts”) with the day-to-day lives of nonacademics (“nonexperts”) has animated Gerald O. West’s work from the beginning. Seeking to bridge this chasm, West’s approach of reading the Bible with the “ordinary people” (typically marginalized communities) became a core practice not only of his church work but of his scholarship. West has been a strong proponent of taking seriously the “ordinary reader” as a viable and legitimate contributor to our understanding of biblical interpretation. Not only does this undo the “ivory tower” elitism that tends to pervade academic halls of learning, but it also reflects a form of scholarly humility that has been a mainstay of West’s and should be perpetuated more broadly in biblical scholarship.

The Bible is of central importance within Caribbean life but is rarely used as an agent for social change. Caribbean biblical hermeneutics focus more on the meaning of biblical texts for today and less on the context in which the texts themselves were written. 'Biblical Resistance Hermeneutics within a Caribbean Context' offers a biblical hermeneutic that acknowledges the importance of the socio-ideological interests, theological agendas, and social practices that produced the biblical texts, as well as the socio-cultural context of the contemporary reader. The book examines the social context of post-independence Caribbean and outlines the difficulties of biblical interpretation within Christian communities that descend from a history of slavery. Current hermeneutical practices in the Caribbean are critiqued and a biblical resistant reading offered that enables the Bible to be used as a cultural weapon of resistance.

In Reading the Bible Across Contexts Esa Autero offers a fresh perspective on Luke’s poverty texts. In addition to an historical reading, he conducted an empirical investigation of two Latin American Bible reading groups – one poor and the other affluent – to shed light on Luke’s poverty texts. The interaction between historical reading and present-day readings demonstrates the impact of socio-economic status on biblical hermeneutics and sheds new light on Luke’s views on wealth and poverty. At the same time Esa Autero critically examines liberation theologian’s claim that poor are privileged biblical interpreters.

Biblical Resistance Hermeneutics within a Caribbean Context An Overview This work explores the concept of biblical resistance hermeneutics within the Caribbean context. This approach emphasizes the significance of biblical texts for lived experiences instead of viewing the Bible merely as a product of historical and contextual conditions. It also addresses the challenges of integrating biblical hermeneutics with social praxis in the Caribbean, particularly within Christian communities with a legacy of slavery. Additionally, it investigates the social and hermeneutical context of a post-independence Caribbean, raising hermeneutical questions concerning text/context, oral/written, and reading/practice. This work employs Historical Materialist, Postcolonial, and Contextual Bible Study reading strategies as analytical tools. These strategies help identify the socio-ideological interests, theological agendas, and social practices that contributed to the creation of biblical texts, examine interpretations of the letter to Philemon in the New Testament, engage in a resistant reading of Philemon, and develop a strategy for biblical resistance reading. This strategy is not only critically aware of the cultural significance of contextual realities (cultural literacy consciousness) but also stems from a commitment to and involvement in social struggle (praxis of and for resistance), thereby empowering both the material conditions of interpreters and the origins of biblical texts. This biblical resistance reading strategy aims to bridge the gap between the social nature of existence and matters of faith. It has implications for how we interpret and define the Bible, theological perspectives in the Caribbean, worship practices, and Caribbean hermeneutical methods. It does not prioritize the socio-ideological interests, theological agendas, and social practices that shaped biblical texts over the socio-cultural and historical realities faced by readers during interpretation; instead, it acknowledges both aspects. Prioritizing one over the other undermines the Bible as a cultural weapon of resistance. The biblical resistant hermeneutic developed in this work is the rst of its kind within the Caribbean context.

The Stolen Bible tells the story of how Southern Africans have interacted with the Bible from its arrival in Dutch imperial ships in the mid-1600s through to contemporary post-apartheid South Africa. The Stolen Bible emphasises African agency and distinguishes between African receptions of the Bible and African receptions of missionary-colonial Christianity. Through a series of detailed historical, geographical, and hermeneutical case-studies the book analyses Southern African receptions of the Bible, including the earliest African encounters with the Bible, the translation of the Bible into an African language, the appropriation of the Bible by African Independent Churches, the use of the Bible in the Black liberation struggle, and the ways in which the Bible is embodied in the lives of ordinary Africans.

Migration has long been associated with the social sciences. However, as a phenomenon that provides windows into possibly new forms of oppression and, at the same time, paths toward human liberation a systematic theological look at contemporary migration is long overdue. Building on the emerging interest on migration in theology this book presents an intercultural theology of migration drawn from the experience of Filipino women domestic workers in Hong Kong in dialogue with theological ethics and liberationist theologies. The result is a new look at the phenomenon of contemporary migration.

Engage essays that are profoundly theological and resolutely social In this collection of essays, contributors seek to analyze the vision of the critical task espoused by Latino/a critics. The project explores how such critics approach their vocation as critics in the light of their identity as members of the Latino/a experience and reality. A variety of critics—representing a broad spectrum of the Latino/a American formation, along various axes of identity—address the question in whatever way they deem appropriate: What does it mean to be a Latino/a critic? Features: Essays from sixteen scholars Articles bring together the fields of biblical studies and racial-ethnic studies Conclusion addresses directions for future research
