On the margins of the biblical canon and on the boundaries of what
are traditionally called 'mainstream' Christian communities there
have been throughout history writings and movements which have been
at odds with the received wisdom and the consensus of establishment
opinion. If one listens carefully, these dissident voices are
reflected in the Bible itself-whether in the radical calls for
social change from the Hebrew Bible prophets, with Jesus the
apocalyptic prophet who also demanded social and economic justice
for his oppressed people, or perhaps from the apocalyptic
tradition's millenarian visions. The use of the Bible has been
fertile ground throughout Christian history for prophetic calls for
radical change within society as a whole and the church in
particular. The essays contained in this volume examine aspects of
this radical tradition, its doctrine, hermeneutics, pedagogy, and
social action. They offer a sustained development of the theme of
the Bible and its reception and appropriation in the context of
radical practices, and an exposition of the imaginative
possibilities of radical engagement with the Bible in inclusive
social contexts. Part 1 treats New Testament texts directly-the
Lukan writings, Paul and the Book of Revelation; Part 2 explores
some examples of reception history and of radical appropriation of
the Bible in history and literature; Part 3 addresses contemporary
issues in liberation theology and public theology. This book is a
Festschrift in honour of Professor Christopher Rowland, the Dean
Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture in the
University of Oxford.
