In "Return to Babel," each of ten historically significant
biblical texts is interpreted by three scholars: one Latin
American, one African, and one Asian. Geographic locales range from
a tiny village in the Philippines to the city of Nairobi, Kenya;
from Gwangju, South Korea, with its one million inhabitants, to the
frontier city of Wiwili in the northern mountains of Nicaragua. The
result is a collection of essays that shed new light on familiar
texts and make the reader aware of the ways in which culture can
shape our understanding of Scripture.
