- This volume, edited by Tat-siong Benny Liew and Fernando F. Segovia, is the third installment in a trilogy exploring minoritized biblical criticism. It examines how social and cultural contexts influence the purposes and practices of biblical interpretation among racial and ethnic minority communities. Contributors address contemporary issues such as HIV/AIDS and U.S. immigration policy, showing how these intersect with biblical texts. The book emphasizes the ethical and political responsibilities of biblical scholars to their communities and society. It is intended for scholars and students of biblical studies, particularly those interested in the intersections of race, culture, and religion. Generated by AI.
