This book offers a fresh appraisal of the identity and involvement
of the subalterns in Mark, arguing that the presence of the
subalterns in Mark is a possible hermeneutical tool for re-reading
the Bible in a postcolonial context like India.Part I
-Hermeneutics: General Methodological Considerations paves the way
for a creative discussion on Mark and its interpreters in the rest
of the study by looking at the issue of the spread of Christianity
and missionary attempts at biblical interpretations that did not
take the life of the natives into account. Many insights from the
postcolonial situation can be found in the contextual
interpretations such as liberation, feminist, postcolonial feminist
and subaltern.Part II- Mark: Context and Interpretation considers
colonial rule in Palestine and examines some Markan texts showing
the potential role of the subalterns. It is argued that due to
colonial rule, the native people suffered in terms of their
identity, religion and culture. There was conflict between Galilee
and Jerusalem mainly on religious issues. The victims of domination
were the poor peasants and the artisans in Galilee.A dialogue and
interaction with the Markan milieu was possible in the research and
so the marginal and subaltern groups were effectively understood by
exegeting Mark 10: 17-31, 7: 24-30 and 5: 1-20 and showing the
postcolonial issues such as the poor and their representation,
gender, race, hybridity, class, nationalism, and purity
respectively. The subalterns were mainly associated with movements
of resistance in Palestine. The Markan proclamation of solidarity
with those subalterns is significant.The general conclusion
presents the implications of this interpretationfor a hermeneutical
paradigm for a postcolonial context.
