Since its emergence a few years ago, postcolonial biblical
criticism has witnessed swift expansion and development in Biblical
Studies. This critical approach has been increasingly applied to
biblical texts as well as modern and postmodern interpretations and
interpreters of these texts, yielding an ever-growing body of
dissertations, scholarly articles, and volumes. In the process,
this approach has become increasingly sophisticated as well in
matters of method and theory.
This Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testament Writings
represents a critical benchmark in postcolonial biblical criticism.
Indeed, the Commentary stands as the most comprehensive application
to date of postcolonial criticism to the biblical texts, with its
focus on the entire corpus of the New Testament. It places the
reality and ramifications of imperial-colonial frameworks and
relations at the centre of biblical criticism. The various entries
pursue their analysis across a broad range of concerns and through
a number of different approaches.
They show, among other things, how texts and interpretations
construct and/or relate to their respective imperial-colonial
contexts; foreground literary, rhetorical, and ideological marks of
coloniality and postcoloniality in both texts and interpretations;
reveal how postcolonial reading strategies disrupt and destabilize
hegemonic biblical criticism; and engage in critical dialogue with
the visions and projects identified in texts as well as in
interpretations. Toward this end, the Commentary has recourse to a
highly distinguished and diversified roster of scholars, making
this a definite point of reference for years to come.
