Religion, ethnicity and race are facets of human identity that have
become increasingly contested in the study of the Bible - largely
due to the modern discipline of biblical studies having developed
in the context of Western Europe, concurrent with the emergence of
various racial and imperial ideologies. The essays in this volume
address Western domination by focusing on historical facets of
ethnicity and race in antiquity, the identities of Jews and
Christians, and the critique of scholarly ideologies and racial
assumptions which have shaped this branch of study. The
contributors critique various Western European and North American
contexts, and bring fresh perspectives from other global contexts,
providing insights into how biblical studies can escape its
enmeshment in often racist notions of ethnicity, race, empire,
nationhood and religion. Covering issues ranging from translation
and racial stereotyping to analysing the significance of race in
Genesis and the problems of an imperialist perspective, this volume
is vital not only for biblical scholars but those invested in
Christian, Jewish and Muslim identity.
