Beskrivning
This is the first single-authored book on Asian American biblical interpretation. It covers all of the major genres within the New Testament and broadens biblical hermeneutics to cover not only the biblical texts, but also Asian American literature and current films and events like genome research and September 11. Despite its range, the book is organized around three foci: methodology (the distinguishing characteristics or sensibilities of Asian American biblical hermeneutics), community (the politics of inclusion and exclusion), and agency.

Recensioner i media

Liew is one of the most articulate, creative and sophisticated biblical scholars in North America. What Is Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics? has not caused me to question that judgment....This impressive book represents the collapse of the center and a major shift in orientation to the peripheries. It is a major achievement and a major challenge.-Vincent L. Wimbush, Claremont Graduate University ""A groundbreaking achievement! Dr. Liew uses his amazing breadth of scholarship to challenge Eurocentrism in biblical studies and secularism in Asian American studies at once....After Liew, reading the New Testament will never be the same again.""-Kwok Pui-lan, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts
