When those--the privileged and the denounced--are not examined, they fade into and hide in the blind spots of the Bible. This collection of essays engages some of the subjects who face dispersion (physical displacement that sparks ideological bias) and othering (ideologies that manifest in social distancing and political displacement). These include, among others, the builders of Babel, Samaritans, Melchizedek, Jezebel, Judith, Gomer, Ruth, slaves, and mothers. In addition to considering the drive to privilege or denounce, the contributors also attend to subjects ignored because the Bible's blind spots are not examined. These include planet Earth, indigenous Australians, Palestinians, Dalits, minjungs, battered women, sexual-abuse victims, religious minorities, mothering men, gays, and foreigners. This collection encourages interchanges and exchanges between dispersion and othering, and between the Bible and context. It flows in the currents of postcolonial and gendered studies, and closes with a script that stages a biblical character at the intersection of the Bible's blind spots and modern readers' passions and commitments." -- provided by publisher's website. 630 00 Bible |xPostcolonial criticism. 630 00 Bible |xHermeneutics. 630 00 Bible. |pOld Testament |xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 630 00 Bible. |pNew Testament |xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 700 1 Havea, Jione, |d1965- |eeditor. 700 1 Melanchthon, Monica J., |d1962- |eeditor. 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h245460 914 (OCoLC)on1286146122 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240717 |eprocessed |f1286146122 980 17755261 |i45.00 |j36.90 |n40030931021 982 |cf |q32101101662888 986 |hBS521.86 |i.B53 2021
