Bücher von R. S. (University of Birmingham) Sugirtharajah

This is a comprehensive history of the Bible in the Third World from precolonial days to the postcolonial period. It examines the work of theologians from the non-Western world. The volume is an invaluable guide to anyone interested in learning about the impact of the Bible on Third World cultures.

At a time of renewed interest in Empire, this stimulating volume explores the complex relationship between the Bible and the colonial enterprise, and examines some overlooked aspects of this relationship. Sugirtharajah offers both practical and theoretical insights, providing compelling evidence of the continuing importance of postcolonial discourse for biblical studies.
