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 post-modern 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.
