Linguistic Theory and the Biblical Text
This volume is the result of the 2021 session of the Linguistics and the Biblical Text research group of the Institute for Biblical Research, which addresses the history, relevance, and prospects of broad theoretical linguistic frameworks in the field of biblical studies.

Jerry Hwang. Contextualization and the Old Testament
Jerry Hwang’s book sits astride biblical studies and missiology as a most welcome exposure of the unstated assumptions behind most Western biblical studies and an introduction to what an Asian perspective might look like.Historically, within Christendom “the gospel” became identified with “the Western conception of the gospel,” without recognizing it as a Western conception.
