Postcolonial biblical critics use a multilayered biblical hermeneutic, one that emphasizes "the demythologization of the biblical authority, the demystification of the use of the Bible, and the construction of new models of interpretation of the Bible" (Kwok 1995, 30). Fernando Segovia, a postcolonial New Testament scholar, for example, argues that there are three different and equally important worlds that readers of the Bible should investigate and analyze: the world of the text, the world of modernity, and the world of today (Segovia 2002, 119-132).

Examines postcolonial Biblical criticism as it applies to teaching the Bible. Provides a succinct overview of this approach to reading the Bible. Includes an analysis of the story of Hagar and Sarah that examines the sociopolitical context of the writer, traditional modern interpretations and concludes that Hagar and Sarah are examples of courageous, marginalized women in a patriarchal society who are able to maintain their dignity. Contrasts this reading with a feminist interpretation.

So what do you think of postcolonial criticism, given that the Bible is the product of people living under different imperial regimes (Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek or Roman)?  Has Christendom, often alligned with imperialism and colonial expansion, missed the critique of Empire found in the Bible in the Exodus, the call to justice in the prophets, the message of the kingdom of God or the confession that Jesus (not Caesar) is Lord and Savior?

A blog that seems quite informative! Particularly interesting is the distinction between liberation theology and postcolonial Biblical criticism. I was intrigued with the highlighted questions.

Series of essays with a focus on the New Testament, edited by two prominent scholars in postcolonial criticism. In the chapter by Sze-kar Wan, The Letter to the Galatians, he explores the ethnic tension in the letter and the dangers of over-simplification when examining ethnic categories such as Jewish and Gentile. He further discusses how "Roman imperial discourse was ... revised and appropriated for the use of the Jerusalem Jesus-movement." A focus on how empire shapes a minority community and the power dynamics within the community itself. Bibliography could be expanded by examining the work of the individual authors.

"This volume explores postcolonial biblical criticism from a number of different but interrelated angles, so as to bring it into as sharp a focus as possible. Thus far, such a mapping of postcolonial biblical criticism as a whole has not been undertaken in explicit and detailed terms. Postcolonial Biblical Criticism seeks to do this primarily by carefully situating postcolonial biblical criticism in relation to other important political and theoretical currents in contemporary biblical studies: feminism; racial/ethnic studies; poststructuralism; and Marxism."
