Encountering Diversity in Indian Biblical Studies
«
'A fascinating concoction of articles looking at interpretations of the Bible in India, past and present, Encountering Diversity in Indian Biblical Studies is a timely look at a rich, cultural stream of biblical interpretation. A post-colonial lens is used to examine different contextual readings with national, ethnic and social identities all with roles to play. Older colonial, Protestant, Catholic, Dalit and Tribal exegetical approaches are also compared in conjunction with new anthropological, ethnographic and visual modes of enquiry. Everyday life is never far away, with the recognition of the part played by symbols and the senses in interpreting the Bible and the world around us. What other book would feature the biblical approaches of rickshaw drivers?! This is a rich and diverse reading experience, not to be missed!' - Katharine J. Dell, Professor of Old Testament Literature and Theology, Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge
