Beskrivning

Through close textual engagement, theological exposition, ethical reflection, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this book presents a constructive theology of divine speech in the Acts of the Apostles and 1 Corinthians in critical conversation with contemporary issues of sociopolitical, ecclesial, and theological importance. In particular, the authors attend to pericopes in Acts and Paul that open up fresh ways of thinking about divine discourse, preaching, and advocacy in light of contemporary matters of theological and ethical import. In addition to classical modes of textual and theological analysis, the authors attend to the sociopolitical and sociolinguistic aspects of speech as they arise in these pericopes. As such, the authors are simultaneously deconstructing these texts through postcolonial and post-structural analyses to expose these texts to an alterity at work therein, an alterity that has been muted by centuries of biblical interpretation.

Amid the glut of words and din of speech in our round-the-clock cyclone of news, talk, and (mis/dis)information, how do we speak authentically with and for God, from the Bible, to our contemporary social and political contexts? This book models a fresh dialogical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary approach to this challenging issue. Accordingly, the identities of the three collaborating authors matter. Now well into their professional careers, they engage in lively, candid conversation, befitting their friendship dating back to overlapping periods of doctoral study at Emory University. Yet they specialize in different areas: Barreto in New Testament studies, Myers in homiletics, and Young in ethics; and they have different ethnic and sexual orientations.... Each contributor also speaks with her/his distinctive academic accent: Barreto in the language of historical and literary biblical criticism, informed by ideological approaches such as post-colonialism; Myers in the idiom of deconstructive, postmodern theorists like Foucault, Derrida, and Irigaray; and Young mediating Black and/or queer voices such as Lorde and Heyward. The result is a fresh, edgy, stimulating conversation worth eavesdropping
