Hebrews seems like unpromising material for feminist
interpretation, although it is the only New Testament writing for
which female authorship has been seriously posited. Mary Ann Beavis
and HyeRan Kim-Cragg highlight the similarities between Hebrews and
the book of Wisdom/Sophia, which share cosmological, ethical,
historical, and sapiential themes, revealing that Hebrews is in
fact a submerged tradition of Sophia-Wisdom. They also tackle the
sacrificial Christology of Hebrews, concluding that in its ancient
context, far from symbolizing suffering and abjection, sacrifice
was understood as celebratory and relational. Contributions from
Filipina (Maricel and Marilou Ibita), Jewish (Justin Jaron Lewis),
historical (Nancy Calvert-Koyzis), and First Nations (Marie
Annharte Baker) perspectives bring additional scholarly, cultural,
religious, and experiential wisdom to the commentary. From the
Wisdom Commentary series Feminist biblical interpretation has
reached a level of maturity that now makes possible a commentary
series on every book of the Bible. It is our hope that Wisdom
Commentary, by making the best of current feminist biblical
scholarship available in an accessible format to ministers,
preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid all readers
in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity, equality, and
justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to provide feminist
interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly engagement with
the whole text, not only those texts that explicitly mention women.
A central concern is the world in front of the text, that is, how
the text is heard and appropriated by women. At the same time, this
commentary aims to be faithful to the ancient text, to explicate
the world behind the text, where appropriate, and not impose
contemporary questions onto the ancient texts. The commentary
addresses not only issues of gender (which are primary in this
project) but also those of power, authority, ethnicity, racism, and
classism, which all intersect. Each volume incorporates diverse
voices and differing interpretations from different parts of the
world, showing the importance of social location in the process of
interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist
interpretation of a text.

In Postcolonial Preaching, HyeRan Kim-Cragg argues that preaching
is the act of dropping the stone of the Gospel into a lake, making
waves to move hearts and transform the world wounded by colonial
violence. The ripple effect serves as a metaphor and acronym to
guide to preaching that takes postcolonial concerns seriously:
Rehearsal, Imagination, Place, Pattern, Language and Exegesis
(RIPPLE). Kim-Cragg explains each "ripple" in this approach and
exercise of creating and delivering sermons. The author delivers
fresh insights while drawing on some traditional homiletical
perspectives in the service of a homiletic that takes the reality
of racism, migration, and environmental degradation seriously.
Moreover, Kim-Cragg demonstrates the postcolonial sermon in action
by including annotated homilies. This book contributes to the very
first wave of the application of postcolonial scholarship in
preaching. Given the continuing extent and influence of colonial
worldviews and legacies, this approach should become a staple in
preaching over the next generation.
This book examines the impact of white racialization in homiletics.
The first section, Racial Hegemony, interrogates the white,
colonial bias of Euro-American homiletical practice, pedagogy, and
theory with particular attention to the intersection of preaching
and racialization. The second section, Resistance and
Possibilities, contributes diverse critical homiletical approaches
emerging in conversation with racially-minoritized scholarship and
racially subjugated knowledge and practice. By reading this book,
preachers and professors of preaching will encounter alternative,
non-dominant homiletical pathways toward a more just future for the
church and the world.

Postcolonial studies has challenged the Eurocentric frameworks and
methodologies in the fields of biblical studies and theology.
Postcolonial Practice of Ministry is a groundbreaking anthology
that enables a new engagement between postcolonial and practical
theologies, focused on three key areas of the practice of ministry:
pastoral leadership, liturgical celebration, and interfaith
engagement. Postcolonial Practice of Ministry will make an impact
in at least two areas of theological reflection: first, among
postcolonial scholars, it will stretch postcolonial theology into
an area where it has been neglected; second, it will provide a
comprehensive resource for rethinking the practice of ministry.
Contributors to this volume are well-known scholars from different
racial, national, and denominational backgrounds, bringing with
them experiences of hybrid identities and multicultural churches.
Many of them are pioneers in introducing postcolonial discourse to
their fields.

When Paul wrote First Thessalonians shortly after the recipients
had accepted the Gospel, many significant issues had already arisen
among them. Of great concern was the social complexity, and even
persecution, they encountered because they had "turned to God from
idols" (1:9). The countercultural stance of those earliest
believers, and especially the impact that may have had for women,
is addressed throughout this commentary. While Paul directs no
remarks only to women in this letter, the ramifications of his
preaching on their daily lives emerge vibrantly from the
application of a feminist hermeneutics of suspicion to the text.
While Second Thessalonians is a shorter letter, it has been
disproportionately influential on Christian thought, especially
apocalyptic doctrine and the "Protestant work ethic." From a
feminist perspective, it is androcentric, rhetorically
manipulative, and even violent. In this commentary, Mary Ann Beavis
and HyeRan Kim-Cragg explore this text from many angles to expose
both constructive and destructive implications in the text.
Notably, they suggest a perspective on the "afflictions" endured by
the Thessalonian church that neither glorifies suffering nor wishes
for revenge but rather sees the divine presence in women's acts of
compassion and care in circumstances of extreme duress and
inhumanity. From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist biblical
interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes
possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our
hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist
biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to
ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid
all readers in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity,
equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to
provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly
engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that
explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front
of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by
women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the
ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where
appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient
texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which
are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority,
ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume
incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from
different parts of the world, showing the importance of social
location in the process of interpretation and that there is no
single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.
Story and Song: A Postcolonial Interplay between Christian
Education and Worship examines the roles of Scripture and hymnody
in a Christian community in the twenty-first century, an era marked
by a growing awareness of complex issues and migrating contexts.
This work identifies the divisions that have existed between these
two disciplines. The postcolonial approach employed here offers
insights that uncover the colonial assumptions that led to division
rather than integration of worship and Christian education.
Furthermore, this book seeks to employ qualitative research methods
in studying a Korean-Canadian diasporic congregation and a Korean
feminist Christian group. Such research demonstrates how the Gospel
Story and the congregation's stories can be woven together in a
particular context, while the Song of Faith can help to build a
postcolonial feminist community. Readers will be equipped to mend
the divisions between Christian education and worship, to respond
to the needs of non-Western Christian communities, and to attain
postcolonial insights. A balanced theoretical work with reflective
practical descriptions, this volume will be useful to those who are
looking for a text to guide Christian education and worship courses
and contribute to the readings of courses in practical theology,
postcolonial studies, feminist pedagogies, and feminist liturgies.
