Teaching the Bible: The Discourses and Politics of Biblical Pedagogy

Excellent work! Segovia and Tolbert, following their successful "Reading from this Place" volumes, offer a collection of essays that represents, for me, the best of contemporary biblical scholarship. From Musa Dube's postcolonial reading of the Great Commission to Kwok Pui-Lan's critique of the Western quest for the Historical Jesus; from Segovia's optic on empire and colony, of center and margins, to Tolbert's re-evaluation of biblical authority, readers are both challenged and inspired by these 21 essays' explicit focus on flesh-and-blood readers and their concrete social locations.
