More about the book
Exploring the contemporary relevance of the Bible, this collection of essays addresses its status in today's society and the challenges faced by biblical studies. It highlights the tension between mainstream scholarship and marginalized interpretations, while emphasizing the impact of postcolonial perspectives. Topics include Victorian views of Jesus and the Buddha shaped by colonialism, the Bible's role in Sri Lanka's conflict, and the implications of natural disasters on decolonization. The essays provoke critical discussions on the Bible's utility amid its complex and often oppressive associations.
