Showing when a socio-politically engaged reading becomes postcolonial, but also what in the term postcolonial both attracts and also creates distance, exegesis from a postcolonial perspective is profiled. The book indicates possible avenues in how postcolonial work can be helpful theoretically to the guild of biblical scholars and to show also how it can be practiced in exegetical work done on biblical texts.Studies in theology and religion ;Volume 20.Electronic books.227/.06Punt J(Jeremy),965693MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459796503321Postcolonial biblical interpretation2191035UNINA
