Book Description

Publication Date: Jun 30 2000
Noting that the ways of interpreting the Bible now practiced in the West are patriarchal and oppressive of those in other parts of the world, Dube offers an alternative interpretation that attends to and respects the needs of women in the two-thirds world. In a provocative and insightful reading of the book of Matthew, she shows us how to read the Bible as decolonizing rather than imperialist literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutting Edge Post Colonial Theology July 21 2007
By Colleen Birchett - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Musa Dube is a brilliant scholar who draws the reader into a fresh prespective on the Roman Imperial environment in which the New Testament was written. It illustrates, by examining specific Scriptures, the destructive role that presence of the Roman Empire had on communities of color both during and after their status as colonies of the Roman Empire, and how this is reflected in the way the Scriptures are written. She also underscores throughout the role of specific constructions of gender in the colonizing process, as it is reflected in specific scriptural passages. It is a fascinating study. People of color throughout the world need to read and discuss it at local church levels (in the best of all possible worlds, smile).

5.0 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking... Mar 14 2011
By Nkadzi Lemang - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is my 'bible' for a postcolonial feminist interpretation of the Bible. Dube is a scholar of immense talent, brilliance and intellectualism. Her weaving of the bible, colonialism/and imperialism, with feminist theoretical analysis is a highly note to the growing academic field of postcolonial studies.
