This book explores the complex relationships between the Bible, colonisation, and ecology in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Pasifika, and parts of Asia.Bringing together theologians, biblical scholars, and activists, the volume critically engages with the historical and ongoing uses of biblical texts in colonisation and the reshaping of environmental contexts. The book also showcases some ways in which scholars have recently been developing alternative hermeneutical approaches and ways of contesting these texts. Ecological hermeneutics has, at times, unhelpfully created a dichotomy between human and other-than-human beings, separating humanity from environmental contexts. Central to the contributions in this book is an intentional re-casting of human beings within the so-called ecological realm. By focusing on coloniality and the conquest of Indigenous communities, this volume broadens understandings of ‘ecology’ and aims to attend to how the colonisation of human beings goes hand-in-hand with ecological conquest and domination.Rereading the Bible in the Wake of Colonisation is of great use for students and scholars interested in decolonising ecological histories and theologies, as well as those studying the Bible and ecology more broadly.

By considering multiple nonhuman or more-than-human perspectives, this book stimulates imaginative, non-anthropocentric ways of narrating the world, moving beyond traditional biblical narratives and interpretations centered on human protagonists.Recent biblical scholarship influenced by animal studies understand nonhuman animals of biblical texts as living agents/actants with their own storied perspectives. This perspective challenges anthropocentric ways of reading the Bible, one of the central concerns of ecological hermeneutics. This volume brings together scholars from diverse disciplinary and geographic backgrounds to explore animal agency and actancy in scripture, tracing the ethical, ecological, and theological implications of reading biblical texts with attention to nonhuman perspectives. By emphasizing animal agency and ecological entanglement, the book participates in a broader effort to rethink the Bible’s human-centered canon in ways that respond to both scholarly and real-world concerns, representing a critical step in reorienting biblical scholarship toward ecological relationality.Animal Agency, Ecology and the Bible is of interest to students and scholars working on animal studies, ecological hermeneutics, and biblical interpretation.
