With their distinctively antipodean perspectives, contributors explore the innovative ways that both creators and beholders of Oceanic arts draw upon their contexts and cultures in order to open up creative engagements with the stories, themes and theologies of the biblical tradition. Various motifs weave their way throughout the volume, including antipodean landscapes and ecology, (post)colonialism, philosophy, Oceanic spiritualities and the often contested engagements between western and indigenous cultures. Within this weaving process, each essay invites readers to contemplate these various forms of visual culture through Oceanic eyes, and to appreciate the fresh insights that this process can bring to reading and interpreting the biblical traditions. The result is a rich and interdisciplinary array of conversations that will capture the attention of readers within the fields of biblical reception studies, cultural studies, theology and art history."--Back cover. 606 $aArt 615 0$aArt 676 $a709.95 701 $aBlyth$b Dr Caroline$01746306 701 $aVakaâ??uta$b Rev Dr Nasili$01746307 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157798403321 996 $aThe Bible and Art, Perspectives from Oceania$94177828 997 $aUNINA
