Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A leading womanist biblical scholar reads passages from the New Testament in dialogue with modern-day issues of racial justice. The narratives and letters of the New Testament emerged from a particular set of historical contexts that differ from todays, but they resonate with us because of how the issues they raise rhyme with subjects of contemporary relevance. Listening for these echoes of the present in the past, Love Sechrest utilises her cultural experience and her perspective as a Black woman scholar to reassess passages in the New Testament that deal with intergroup conflict, ethnoracial tension, and power dynamics between dominant and minoritised groups. After providing an overview of womanist biblical interpretation and related terminology, Sechrest utilises an approach she calls associative hermeneutics to place select New Testament texts in dialogue with modern-day issues of racial justice. Topics include:antiracist allyship and Jesuss interaction with marginalised individuals in the Gospel of Matthewcultural assimilation and Jesuss teachings about family and acceptance in the Gospel of Lukegendered stereotypes and the story of the Samaritan woman in the Gospel of Johnthe experience of Black women and girls in the American criminal justice system and the woman accused of adultery in the Gospel of Johngroup identity and the incorporation of Gentiles into the early Jesus movement in Actsprivilege and Pauls claims to apostolic authority in 2 Corinthianscoalition-building between diverse groups and the discussion of unity in Ephesiansgovernments role in providing social welfare and early Christians relationship to the Roman Empire in Romans and Revelation "A reading of select New Testament texts in dialogue with modern-day issues of racial justice through an approach the author terms "associative hermeneutics.""-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
