Interpreting Beyond Borders The Bible and Postcolonialism, 3 Fernando F. Segovia - Great Britain Sheffield Academic Press 2000 - 191tr. paperback, illustrations 24cm - The Bible and Postcolonialism .

This book addresses a fundamental reality of our time: the great movement of people, for a variety of reasons, within and across countries and cultures. From this migration has emerged the ''diasporic intellectual'': the state of dislocation and displacement has become a vantage point for reflection and interpretation. The same is true of theological studies in general and biblical criticism in particular. In this masterly treatment, Fernando Segovia focuses on the emerging transborder biblical interpreters from the Two-Thirds World now residing and working in the West, examines their multiple identities, and explores how ""in-betweenness"" and homesickness affect, influence and inform biblical interpretation.
