Teaching the Bible
The Discourses and Politics of Biblical Pedagogy Edited by Fernando F. Segovia, Mary Ann Tolbert
Editor - Fernando F. Segovia
Editor - Mary Ann Tolbert
"A superb collection of essays on a topic centrally important to theological education and biblical studies. It is an invaluable contribution to the new emancipatory paradigm emerging in biblical studies. Highly accessible, a must reading for anyone in the field.”
Elisabeth Schuessler Fiorenza, Krister Stendahl Professor of Scripture and Interpretation, Harvard University Divinity School
"Although the field of biblical studies is bursting with new methods and fresh interpretations, there has been surprisingly little discussion of what these changes mean for the actual task of teaching the Bible. Happily, this volume takes significant first steps in addressing the shifts in classroom pedagogy that the new day in biblical studies urgently demands.”
Norman K. Gottwald, author, 'Tribes of Yahweh' and co-editor, 'The Bible and Liberation'
"'Teaching the Bible' engages the problem and opportunity of theological education in the twenty-first century head on. In a tightly crafted series of provocative essays, the work clearly defines the post-modern, post-colonial, culturally enriched challenges facing the academy today.... For any student or scholar who wants to engage the post-modern challenge as an innovative opportunity rather than a debilitating crisis, 'Teaching the Bible' is required reading.”
Brian K. Blount, Princeton Theological Seminary
"An absolutely indispensable compendium of resources for charting the changes in the discipline of biblical studies, for exposing the operations of power in past and present interpretations and uses of the Bible, and for discovering a variety of post-modernist and post-colonial pedagogies in the reading and teaching of the Bible in a pluralistic age.”
Abraham Smith, Andover Newton Theological School
