Refractions of the Scriptural is a transdisciplinary collection of
essays that seeks to construct a new field of scholarly inquiry
with scriptures as a fraught category, analytical wedge, and site
for excavation and problematization. The book focuses on the ways
in which individual and social bodies manipulate-and are
manipulated by- the politics and power encoded in language and
formalized canonical knowledge. Scriptures, in this sense, function
as complex phenomena that are instrumental to social conservatism
as well as social critique and social change. The essays in this
volume, written by established and up-and-coming scholars across a
wide range of disciplines, seek to locate, engage, and interpret
the ways in which the scriptural shapes and reshapes people and the
dynamics of identity formation. The chapters are organized around
four domains or types of inquiry: the cognitive, the conscientized,
the inscriptive, and the formative. It will be of interest to
scholars of religion, as well as those interested more broadly in
critical social and historical studies.
