| Summary: | This second edition is well worth the purchase price, for it includes not only revised essays with updated bibliographies, but three new contributions. Uriah Y. Kim applies postcolonial criticism and ponders the question ‘Who Is the Other in the Book of Judges?’ His essay helpfully summarizes postcolonialism's emergence, its key features and concerns. He demonstrates how ‘reading against the grain’ is a transferable skill, this time used in the service of refusing to accept normative Western readings. He also connects with the growing view that hermeneutics, to be ethically responsible, has to ‘address issues and concerns that matter to the world at large, rather than only to the guild of biblical scholars’ (p. 167). |
