Nonwhite women primarily appear as marginalized voices, if at all,
in volumes that address constructions of race/ethnicity and early
Christian texts. Employing an intersectional approach, the
contributors analyze historical, cultural, literary, and
ideological constructions of racial/ethnic identities, which
intersect with gender/sexuality class, religion, slavery, and/or
power. Given their small numbers in academic biblical studies, this
book represents a critical mass of nonwhite women scholars and
offers a critique of dominant knowledge production. Filling a
significant epistemological gap, this seminal text provides
provocative, innovative, and critical insights into constructions
of race/ethnicity in ancient and modern texts and contexts.
Nonwhite women primarily appear as marginalized voices, if at all,
in volumes that address constructions of race/ethnicity and early
Christian texts and contexts. The contributors, who identify as
African American, Asian American, and Asian, analyze the
historical, literary, ideological construction of racial/ethnic
identities. In reading how identity is constructed in early
Christian texts, the contributors employ an intersectional
approach. Thus, they read how race/ethnicity overlaps or intersects
with gender/sexuality, class, religion, slavery, and/or power in
early Christian texts and contexts and in U.S. and global contexts,
historically and currently. Identity construction occurs in public
and private spaces and institutions including households, religious
assemblies/churches, and empire. While some studies discuss the
topic of race/ethnicity and employ intersectional approaches, this
book is the first volume that nonwhite women New Testament Bible
scholars have written. Given their small numbers in the academic
study of the Bible, this book gives voice to a critical mass of
nonwhite women scholars and offers a critique of dominant forms of
knowledge and knowledge production. The contributors provide
provocative, innovative, and critical cultural and ideological
insights into constructions of race/ethnicity in early Christianity
and contemporary contexts.
