The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism
The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism is a comprehensive treatment of a relatively new form of scholarship—one of the most compelling and contested theories to emerge in recent times, and a topic that actively seeks to expand the ways in which the Bible itself is critiqued, studied, and interpreted. Generally speaking, postcolonialism aims to investigate and dismantle hegemonic worldviews and power structures, while giving voice …
Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism
The Bible and Asia
The Bible's influence on the West has received much more attention than its complex career in the East. R. S.

It recounts the remarkable story of how an inaccessible and marginal book in the ancient churches of India, China and North Africa became an important tool in the hands of both coloniser and colonised; how it has been reclaimed in the postcolonial world; and how it is now being rerea…
