Reading Biblical Texts Together

This volume edited by Tat-siong Benny Liew and Fernando F. Segovia expands the work begun in They Were All Together in One Place? Toward Minority Biblical Criticism (2009) by focusing on specific texts for scholarly engagement and exchange. Contributors approach four texts-two from the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 21and 1 Kings 12) and two from the New Testament (John 4 and Revelation 18)-using minority ethnic-racial criticism, a variation of ethnic-racial criticism, within the paradigm of ideological criticism in the field of biblical studies.
