Mission is contrived from and performed over lived contexts, but
the visions that guide and drive mission are oftentimes blinded by
power, position, protection, and plenitude. This collection visits
those matters with queering attention to the shadows empires cast
over the contexts of mission, and to the collusion and complicity
of Christians and churches with empires past (as in the case of
Rome) and present (as in the case of the United States of America).
In the interests of those in mission fields who survived, but
continue to agonize under the burdens of empires, the contributors
to this work dare to re-vision the course and cause of mission.
Writing from minoritized settings in Africa, Asia, the Americas,
and Oceania, the authors interweave the principles and practices of
mission with the opportunities in decolonial theology and
hermeneutics, minoritized and migrant Christologies, repatriation
and the courage to get up and get out, indigenous insights and
wisdom, mission archives, stories of resistance and endurance in
zones of contact and violence, restless souls and returning
spirits, and life-centered spiritual (en)countering. In Mission and
Context as with previous volumes in this series-empires do not have
the final word, nor the final world.

Resistance against unjust (wicked) cultures and imperial powers is
at the heart of scripture. In many cases, the resistance is waged
against external systems or the misappropriation of scriptural
texts and traditions. In some cases, however, scripture resists
oppressive cultures and powers that it also requires, certifies and
protects. At other times, and in different settings, the minders of
scripture speak against the abusive cultures and power systems that
they inherited and whose benefits they milk. Scripture and
Resistance contains reflections by authors from East, West, South,
and North - on resistance and the Christian scriptures regarding a
rainbow of concerns: the colonial legacies of the Bible; the people
(especially native and indigenous people) who were subjugated and
minoritized for the sake of the Bible; the courage for resistance
among ordinary and normal people, and the opportunities that arise
from their realities and struggles; the imperializing tendencies
that lurk behind so-called traditional biblical scholarship; the
strategies of and energies in post- and de-colonial criticisms; the
Bible as a profitable product, and a site of struggle; and the
multiple views or perspectives in the Bible about empire and
resistance. In other words, the contributors, as a collective,
affirm that the Bible contains (pun intended) resistance.

Religion has power structures that require and justify its
existence, spread its influence, and mask its collaboration with
other power structures. Power, like religion, is in collaboration.
Along this line, this book affirms that one could see and study the
power structures and power relations of a religion in and through
the missions of empires. Empires rise and roam with the blessings
and protections of religious power structures (e.g., scriptures,
theologies, interpretations, traditions) that in return carry,
propagate and justify imperial agendas. Thus, to understand the
relation between religion and power requires one to also study the
relation between religion and empires. Christianity is the religion
that receives the most deliberation in this book, with some
attention to power structures and power relations in Hinduism and
Buddhism. The cross-cultural and inter-national contributors share
the conviction that something within each religion resists and
subverts its power structures and collaborations. The authors
discern and interrogate the involvements of religion with empires
past and present, political and ideological, economic and
customary, systemic and local. The upshot is that the book troubles
religious teachings and practices that sustain, as well as profit
from, empires.
