Beskrivning
Nonwhite women primarily appear as marginalized voices, if at all, in volumes that address constructions of race/ethnicity and early Christian texts. Employing an intersectional approach, the contributors analyze historical, cultural, literary, and ideological constructions of racial/ethnic identities, which intersect with gender/sexuality class, religion, slavery, and/or power. Given their small numbers in academic biblical studies, this book represents a critical mass of nonwhite women scholars and offers a critique of dominant knowledge production. Filling a significant epistemological gap, this seminal text provides provocative, innovative, and critical insights into constructions of race/ethnicity in ancient and modern texts and contexts.

Recensioner i media

This volume is an urgently needed intervention into New Testament scholarship. First, it highlights the work of women of color within New Testament Studies, despite the structural racism that has produced a guild that is by vast majority male and white. Second, it acknowledges the recent surge of scholarship on ethnicity and race in the Classics and in the study of early Christianity, and exceeds them, offering historical ideas of race or ethnicity, and also intersectional analyses that balance past texts and present realities…. These essays take seriously the experiences and critical scholarly analyses of women of color and open up new ways of understanding New Testament texts.
