Are some readings of the Bible more objective than others? More
privileged? More true? How does one's own life situation shape
one's reading of the text? What will acknowledgment of the validity
of a variety of perspectives mean for historical-critical methods
of interpretation? The present dizzying pluralism of "locations" -
not only of ethnicity, class, and gender, but also of social and
religious standpoints - presents a daunting challenge to older,
mainstream interpretive schemes. In this landmark project, Segovia,
Tolbert, and their fifteen other contributors have begun to measure
the impact of social location on the theory and practice of
biblical interpretation. This volume, and the international one to
follow, signals the critical legitimation of reading strategies
that supplement or modify or even in some ways dethrone the
historical-critical paradigm that has dominated academic biblical
studies for 200 years. It will provide immediate and enduring
guidance to scholars and students sorting through the complex
epistemological, social, historical, and religious questions that
issue from this paradigm shift.
