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.

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.

Black Theology, Slavery and Contemporary Christianity explores the legacy of slavery in Black theological terms. Challenging the dominant approaches to the history and legacy of slavery in the British Empire, the contributors show that although the 1807 act abolished the slave trade, it did not end racism, notions of White supremacy, or the demonization of Blackness, Black people and Africa. This interdisciplinary study draws on biblical studies, history, missiology and Black theological reflection, exploring the strengths and limitations of faith as the framework for abolitionist rhetoric and action. This Black theological approach to the phenomenon of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the institution of slavery draws on contributions from Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Europe.

The field of biblical studies has championed the historical-critical method as the only way to guarantee objective interpretation. But in recent decades, women, people of color, scholars from the Two-Thirds World, and members of the the LGBTQIA+ community have pursued hermeneutical approaches that provide interpretations useful for marginalized communities who see the Bible as a resource in their struggles against oppression. Such liberative strategies remain at the margins of the field. The Liberation of Method argues that this marginality must end, and that liberative methods should become the central methods of biblical studies. The first part of the book draws upon the hermeneutics of philosophical pragmatism to argue that, because readers are responsible for the interpretation, there is no necessary connection between the meanings they produce and the ones ancient authors may have intended. As a result, the historical-critical method, which prioritizes the study of the ancient contexts of biblical writings, becomes an optional rather than a necessary aspect of interpretation. The second part of The Liberation of Method argues that if we truly hope to create an ethical academic field, more privileged scholars and students must see their minoritized colleagues as the leaders in the field, as models of the ethical liberative standards of interpretation.

Bearing in mind the complex and multiple legacies of slavery and colonialism, particularly as they present themselves in the African Caribbean, Turner addresses what he sees as a fundamental but underexplored phenomenon: Self-Negation. He defines this as the tendency for persons living in the aftermath of slavery and colonialism to “not” like themselves, or to live with a dissonance in their identity. This problem is particularly seen in the relationship between the Church and African indigenous religious heritages within the region. Using the Bahamas as the site for qualitative research and theological reflection, he explores the complex relationship between the Church and Junkanoo, an African Caribbean street festival. Whilst Bahamians eagerly participate in both spheres, it is the common belief that Church is sacred and Junkanoo is secular, and the two should never mix. Turner theorizes that the theological root of the issue is the kinds of colonial hermeneutics that still inform church and cultural practices. Whilst Self-Negation is perpetuated by a hermeneutic of dichotomy, Turner proposes a counter, a hermeneutic of embrace, that takes African indigenous cultural heritages seriously and brings wholeness to the kinds of religious and cultural identities within postcolonial and post-slavery societies.
