| Summary: | This collection, under the authoritative editorship of R. S. Sugirtharajah, who has very much made the field of post-colonial studies his own, is a welcome addition to the resources now available for undergraduate study. Ranging widely across continents and methodologies, it succeeds in challenging and stimulating (and occasionally irritating) the reader. Like all attempts to read the Bible in the context of specific moral, political, or cultural positions, it rightly cannot quite make up its mind whether to use the methodological position as a lever to open up the text, or to use the text in the service of the ideology in question. |
