Description
Summary:In this article the story, of Syrophoenician Woman (Mark 7) is read from a Dalit woman's perspective based on autobiographical narratives taken from the author's life situation. It engages in a parallel and comparative reading of the text and the narratives. It focuses on how the Syrophoenician woman obtains what she beseeches, and on the role of Jesus for her liberation. The key point that 'liberation will be completed only when the oppressed and the oppressor work together' is strongly emphasized.
