In offering innovative interpretations of key texts from the Hebrew Bible, both established and emerging biblical scholars consider the question of how commonplace interpretative practices may be considered to be transgressive in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing innovative strategies, they read against the grain of the text and in support of the marginalised, the subordinated, or subaltern others both in the text and in our world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant questions regarding power and privilege are constantly raised: whose voices are being heard, and whose interests are being served? Knowing all too well the harm that stereotypical constructions of the Other can do in terms of feeding racism, sexism, homophobia, and imperialism in their respective interpretative communities, the essays in \u003cem\u003eTransgression and Transformation\u003c\/em\u003e interrogate constructions of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and class, both in the text as well as in their respective contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy means of these thought-provoking interpretations, the contributors show their commitment not merely for the sake of scholarship but to a scholarly ethos, which in some shape or form contributes to the cultivation of more just, equitable societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47600906404076,"sku":"9781350252394","price":138.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6dd3d72711368319dbd5519c7ef1afb1.jpg?v=1778019339","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/transgression-and-transformation-9781350252394","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
