The last thirty years have witnessed increasing diversity in methodology and perspectives within

biblical studies. One of the most dynamic and continually expanding contributions to this

development is that of postcolonial studies, known for its fresh approaches as well as for its

complex theoretical foundations. The present book aims at introducing both student and scholar to

this emerging field. Part One discusses in a structured and pedagogical way the theoretical location

of postcolonial biblical studies as well as its critique of and contributions to New Testament

exegesis more specifically. Part Two presents five articles by scholars from Africa, Asia, and North

America, illustrating the diversity of current postcolonial studies as applied to individual New

Testament texts.
