Bible Blindspots: Dispersion and Othering (Intersectionality and Theology Series)

Bible Blindspots: Dispersion and Othering (Intersectionality and Theology Series)

Several of the ways and cultures that the Bible privileges or denounces slip by unnoticed. When those—the privileged and the denounced—are not examined, they fade into and hide in the blind spots of the Bible. This collection of essays engages some of the subjects who face dispersion and othering . These include, among others, the builders of Babel, Samaritans, Melchizedek, Jezebel, Judith, Gomer, Ruth, slaves, and mothers. In addition to considering the drive to privilege or denounce, the contributors also attend to subjects ignored because the Bible’s blind spots are not examined. These include planet Earth, indigenous Australians, Palestinians, Dalits, minjung s, battered women, sexual-abuse victims, religious minorities, mothering men, gays, and foreigners.
This collection encourages interchanges and exchanges between dispersion and othering , and between the Bible and context. It flows in the currents of postcolonial and gendered studies, and closes with a script that stages a biblical character at the intersection of the Bible’s blind spots and modern readers’ passions and commitments.
