"Although the field of biblical studies is bursting with new methods and fresh interpretations, there has been surprisingly little discussion of what these changes mean for the actual task of teaching the Bible. Happily, this volume takes significant first steps in addressing the shifts in classroom pedagogy that the new day in biblical studies urgently demands." Norman K. Gottwald, Author of The Hebrew Bible: A Brief Socio-Literary Introduction "An absolutely indispensable compendium of resources for charting the changes in the discipline of biblical studies, for exposing the operations of power in past and present interpretations and uses of the Bible, and for discovering a variety of postmodernist and postcolonial pedagogies in the reading and teaching of the Bible in a radically pluralistic age." Abraham Smith, Perkins School of Theology, S.M.U.

Postcolonial studies have made significant inroads into biblical studies, giving rise to numerous conference papers, articles, essays and books. This book offers an introduction to postcolonial biblical criticism and probes it from a number of different but interrelated angles to bring it into focus, so that its promise can be better appreciated.
