Euro-American biblical scholarship has traditionally conceived of
the Bible in a way that removes privileged readers from personal
responsibility in the subjugation of marginalized communities.
Peter McLellan terms this practice gentrified biblical scholarship:
readers removed from difference, because of the gentrification of
space in the West, who are left without the conceptual resources to
understand their relationship with the Bible as simultaneous
relationship with minoritized communities. McLellan deploys the
theoretical fields of hauntology and critical space theory to argue
that the Gospel of Mark is a haunted place. A project written
largely in New Jersey's wealthy northern suburbs, each chapter
converses with vignettes from Newark, New Jersey's Ironbound
neighborhood-a low income, largely Latinx and immigrant
community-to explore relations between these two otherwise isolated
locales. The result is a discussion of gentrifications harmful
effects on vibrant communities, made invisible to suburban
Christian readers, and an effort to explore how marginalized people
make persistent demands upon those who hold Mark's Gospel sacred.
