Postcolonial Criticism and Biblical Interpretation - Sugirtharajah, R. S. (, Reader in Biblical Hermeneutics, School of Historical Studies, University of Birmingham)

In this stimulating study, R. S. Sugirtharajah explores the implications of postcolonial criticism for biblical studies. He reveals how postcolonial criticism can offer an alternative perspective to our understanding of the Bible, and how, when the Bible has been deployed as a Western cultural icon, it has come to be questioned in new ways.
