Book excerpt: According to Brad Vaughn, some traditional East Asian cultural values are closer to those of the first-century biblical world than common Western cultural values.

Book Synopsis Theologies of Power and Crisis by : Stephen Pavey
Download or read book Theologies of Power and Crisis written by Stephen Pavey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologies of Power and Crisis provides a case study for Eric Wolf's research directive to better comprehend the interplay of cultural (webs of meaning) and material (webs of power) forms of social life. More specifically, the book demonstrates how theological discourse and practice engage with historical and material relations of power. It has been normative to speak of power in terms of political and economic processes and theology in terms of interpretive and symbolic experiences. This work breaks new ground by linking theological ideas with political-economic processes in terms of the structural relations of power. Ethnographically, this research investigates the theological processes of Hong Kong Chinese Christians during a period of significant social change and crisis, precipitated by the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997. It shows how local Christians and Christian institutions mediated the significant regional, national, and transnational forces of political-economic change by connecting theological practice to the structural relations of power. The Christian response was a contested process closely intertwined with the broader contested processes of social organization. This study develops an understanding of Christianity that goes beyond ecclesiastical hegemony to encompass struggles over human practice, meaning, and representation in relation to the changing political-economic context. These findings implicate religious ideas and practice as significant to an understanding of social inequalities and powerlessness by connecting ideologies to material conditions. Christian ideas may be used to legitimize an oppressive social order or they may be used to liberate those who are oppressed. Issues related to the policies and practice of development should take seriously the role of religious beliefs and practices.

Book Synopsis What Is Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics? Reading the New Testament by : Tat-siong Benny Liew
Download or read book What Is Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics? Reading the New Testament written by Tat-siong Benny Liew and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2007-12-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Liew is one of the most articulate, creative and sophisticated biblical scholars in North America. What Is Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics? has not caused me to question that judgment. A set of provocative questions, arguments, issues, and problems, the book opens a window onto what it means for human beings to try to negotiate a rather complex contemporary world, with evidence of increasingly blurred but also thick ideological and social-cultural boundaries and overlapping but also recognizable and isolable identity formations. That Liew does this by using and bringing together the category "Asian American" and the phenomenon of the reading of "the Bible" as sharp analytical wedge is all the more fascinating. This impressive book represents the collapse of the center and a major shift in orientation to the peripheries. It is a major achievement and a major challenge." —Vincent L. Wimbush, Claremont Graduate University "A groundbreaking achievement! Dr. Liew uses his amazing breadth of scholarship to challenge Eurocentrism in biblical studies and secularism in Asian American studies at once. Like Gender Trouble, The Future of an Illusion, and other original work, this book will become a classic in Asian American biblical hermeneutics, setting the terms of debate for years to come. After Liew, reading the New Testament will never be the same again."—Kwok Pui-lan, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts This is the first single-authored book on Asian American biblical interpretation. It covers all of the major genres within the New Testament and broadens biblical hermeneutics to cover not only the biblical texts, but also Asian American literature and current films and events like genome research and September 11. Despite its range, the book is organized around three foci: methodology (the distinguishing characteristics or sensibilities of Asian American biblical hermeneutics), community (the politics of inclusion and exclusion), and agency. The work intentionally affirms Asian America as a panethnic coalition while acknowledging the differences within it. In other words, it attempts to balance Asian American panethnicity and heterogeneity, or coalition building and identity politics.

Book Synopsis Discovering the Bible in the Non-Biblical World by : Pui-Lan Kwok
Download or read book Discovering the Bible in the Non-Biblical World written by Pui-Lan Kwok and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-09-16 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Chinese woman, a feminist theologian, and a biblical scholar, Pui-lan Kwok brings a new perspective and voice to the task of hermeneutics. Her multidimensional reading of the Bible draws on a tradition much older than that of the West while it simultaneously incorporates the insights of contemporary feminist and Third World theologies. Seeing herself as "wanderer" between the worlds of East and West, Pui-lan Kwok draws on the work of contemporary biblical scholars, as well as the millennia-old commentaries on the Book of Change, the Dao de Jing, and the Bhagavad Gita. Her creativity and imagination come into play as she gradually, inseparably links reader, text, and context. The first three chapters locate the context from which she approaches the Bible as an Asian woman. Pui-lan considers Asian traditions as well as the social biography of Asian peoples and discusses the complex issues of using the Bible in feminist theology. Chapters Four and Five approach the unique Asian context with its long traditions of orality and exegesis of ancient scriptures. Chapter Six analyzes the challenges of Asian critics to western interpretations of scripture and raises sharp issues of colonial oppression. Finally, Discovering the Bible in the Non-Biblical World shows how the multiple oppressions of women provide a context for rediscovering the Bible's liberating message. "Must reading for anyone engaged in biblical studies, cross-cultural education and feminist theology. I highly recommend this richly instructive and powerful book."ùElisabeth Schassler Fiorenza Harvard Divinity School "An important addition to the fast-growing literature on Asian biblical discourse."ùR.S. Sugirtharajah University of Birmingham "A significant contribution to the hermeneutical conversation arising from the global context of reading of the Bible."ùSharon H.

Conference Agenda Appendix 2. Introduction of the Contributors What Is New about Reading the Bible with New Eyes? Introduction Reading the Bible is essential to the lives of Christians and the shaping of their identity. Regardless of the many differences among Christian denominations and theological trends, the Bible is commonly considered by Christians as the Word of God and is the most important way to acquaint the will of God. This is even more true to Christians with a Confucian background taught to respect the classics and teachings. Nevertheless, reading the Bible has never been neutral. It involves hermeneutic controversies of different theological trends and is subjected to the ideological positions and interests of its interpreters and readers. Traditional anthropocentric, androcentric and white-oriented interpretations of the Bible have not only misled the perception of biblical truth, but also created many oppressive frames, such as discrimination and persecution, which cause suffering. How to read the Bible and read it properly is thus crucial and imperative. Reading the Bible with New Eyes is an ecumenical theological endeavor and an attempt to help churches and individual Christians in their struggle for making the Bible a liberating message of the Christian God, who was revealed through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The concept of “New Eyes” thus is a critical view through which to examine the existing interpretations of the Bible, addressing, in particular, those who interpret the Bible, whether intentionally or non-intentionally, with dominant and privileged perspectives or for the purpose of maintaining the status quo. For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. (Deut. 10:17-19) But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:4-6) The newness of the new eyes therefore is essentially seeking to be authentic and original. God’s Words need to be interpreted in God’s nature and intention. Theological confession to perceive the nature and intention of God thus is prior to the literary meaning of the biblical texts. The current publication of What Is New about Reading the Bible with New Eyes? is an outcome of an international theological consultation jointly held in December 2019 by the following organizations: The Evangelism Committee of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, Tainan Theological College and Seminary, Tainan Theological College Foundation, Taiwan Church Press, Grace Foundation, the Asian Theological Academy, and the Academy for Contextual Theologies in Taiwan. This consultation was, on the one hand, to respond to the ecumenical theological efforts to transform theological reflections from traditional Western domination, and, on the other hand, to enhance a two-decade-long mission program of Reading the Bible with New Eyes of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan by a theological revisit to the characteristic of newness in Taiwan’s contexts. The content of this book is divided into three parts with an appendix; the first part focuses on theological discourse on biblical hermeneutics and the role of contextuality; the second part is reflections from the contexts of Taiwan; the third part provides biblical illustrations; finally, for the sake of memory, we put a brief introduction of the contributors and program schedule of the consultation in the appendix. For this book to be published, I have to acknowledge and give my thanks to all the contributors and the joint hosts of the consultation for their cooperation and solidarity, and the editorial board members, particularly Jomei Tsai, who has devoted much energy and time to proofread the whole book. The publishing sector of Taiwan Church Press who helped with cover design and all the publishing work is also greatly appreciated. By Rev. Dr. Huang Po Ho Director Academy for Contextual Theologies in Taiwan May 20, 2020

Download or read book Reading the Bible through the eyes of Another written by Gabriele Mayer and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book marks an important step on an intercultural spiritual journey in the EMS fellowship of 28 churches and mission societies in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It reflects on exciting and challenging experiences during a 15-year process of Reading the Bible through the Eyes of Another. During three project periods, approximately 250 groups in 20 different countries teamed up. They aimed to exchange and share as intercultural pairs of partner groups on how biblical texts spoke into their respective lives. Several international workshops in Africa, Asia and Europe provided opportunities for intensive personal encounters adopting various methods and approaches to learn from each other, to worship together, and to celebrate life in diversity. In 2018, a workshop in Bangalore, India, with participating scholars from various theological institutions in the EMS fellowship embarked on an effort to combine the participatory grassroots approach with academic reflection.
