There has rarely been an effort to address the missing dialogue
between British and African scholars, including in regard to the
role of British missionaries during the introduction ofthe Bible
and Christianity to many parts of Africa. To break this silence,
Musa W. Dube and Johanna Stiebert collect expressions from both
emerging and established biblical scholars in the United Kingdom
and (predominantly) southern African states. Divided into three
sets of papers, these contributions range from the injustices of
colonialism to postcolonial critical readings of texts, suppression
and appropriation; each section complete with a responding essay.
Questioning how well UK students understand Africancentred and
generated approaches of biblical criticism, whether African
scholars consider UK-centric criticism valid, and how accurately
the western canon represents current UK based scholarship, these
essays illustrate the trends and challenges faced in biblical
studies in the two centres of study, and discusses how these
questions are better answered with dialogue, rather than in
isolation.
