This volume on feminist, postcolonial and queer biblical
interpretation gathers perspectives from a global body of
researchers; in offering innovative interpretations of key texts
from the Hebrew Bible, both established and emerging biblical
scholars consider the question of how commonplace interpretative
practices may be considered to be transgressive in nature.
Utilizing innovative strategies, they read against the grain of the
text and in support of the marginalized, the subordinated or
subaltern others both in the text and in our world today. Important
questions regarding power and privilege are constantly raised:
whose voices are being heard, and whose interests are being served?
Knowing all too well the harm that stereotypical constructions of
the Other can do in terms of feeding racism, sexism, homophobia and
imperialism in their respective interpretative communities, the
essays in this volume interrogate constructions of ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, and class, both in the text as well as
in their respective contexts. By means of these thought-provoking
interpretations, the contributors show their commitment not merely
the sake of scholarship but to a scholarly ethos, which in some
shape or form contributes to the cultivation of more just,
equitable societies.
