About this ebook
Semeia 47 is a groundbreaking collection of essays that presents early work by African American and Asian biblical scholars whose influence on biblical hermeneutics pushed the academy beyond historical critical methods toward readings that engaged struggles for justice, self-determination, and freedom. Katie Geneva Cannon, Kwok Pui Lan, and Vincent L. Wimbush explore theoretical frameworks for biblical interpretation. Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, Renita Weems, Clarice J. Martin, and Sheila Briggs’s readings of texts from Psalms, Hosea, Acts, and Philippians demonstrate liberating responses that challenge Euro-American interpretation and racial rhetoric.
