Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A fine example of Liberation Hermeneutics, with its eyes firmly set on both ancient text and contemporary readers and its special focus on the standpoint of the oppressed - the poor, the indigenous people, blacks, women, and young people, the cosmos, and nature. It is most welcome indeed. . .”

“Changing Horizons is Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza's best book yet. It contains the passion of her initial ground-breaking work, key changes and updates in her current thinking, and patient and clear prose. If you have just one book to read of all her important work, this is it." —Hal Taussig Union Theological Seminary in New York "In this volume Schüssler Fiorenza continues her project on the formulation of a critical feminist biblical hermeneutics. Here she proceeds to shed further light on the trajectory and the practice of this hermeneutics. With highly sophisticated theoretical reflections, incisive practical applications, this is a most valuable contribution to this ongoing and ever-developing project, therefore, and one to be warmly welcomed.”
Engaging Latino/a/x Theologies
Theology
“Engaging Latino/a/x Theologies is an exercise in academic-intellectual border-crossing . . . which is both a call to and an example for us all to do likewise.”
Evangelical Postcolonial Conversations
Theology
“This collection is a solid, sharp contribution to the juncture of Christian studies and postcolonial studies. I have noted with delight how in recent years evangelical theology has addressed the major crises and issues of our times. This has certainly been the case with regard to migration and economics. This venture into the discourse of imperial-colonial formations and relations is thus much needed and much welcomed. I look forward to dialogue and recommend the volume highly. A job well done!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This collection of essays represents a fine addition to the growing juncture of religious-theological studies and economic studies. Its particular focus is on the significance of labor and class for the study and practice of religion and theology, and vice versa. Toward this end, the volume draws on an excellent group of scholars. . . . The result is a keen reading of the problematic from a broad variety of angles of vision. A creative and sophisticated interdisciplinary exercise; well done!”
Feminist Biblical Interpretation
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The publication in English of this volume is an event to be warmly welcomed. . . . A magnificent achievement.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This volume represents the first attempt to present and analyze the vision and mission of minoritized reading and criticism of the Bible in Canada. It is a volume that was sorely needed, and it is a volume that is keenly welcomed. On the one hand, the project brings to the fore the ways in which minoritized communities from Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean approach and deploy the biblical texts in their lives as migrants. On the other hand, the project points to the way in which minoritized critics from these communities can employ such ethnocultural models and strategies to unsettle and transform the way of dominant biblical criticism in Canada. In a national situation marked by immigrant diversity and immigrant marginalization, the volume raises a cry for the value of minoritized community reading and minoritized biblical criticism. It is, to my mind, an excellent contribution to the ever-expanding critical literature on minoritized reading and criticism on a global level. Well done, indeed.”
“In terms of length and detail, there is simply nothing like it in Johannine studies. Such a commentary has been very much needed for quite some time now, and Moloney has obliged with a splendid example of what narrative criticism can do. First-rate and refreshingly up-to-date.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In recent years, the much-needed move toward a global approach to and practice of biblical criticism has become ever-more expansive and sophisticated. This series represents a most welcome addition to this corpus. This first volume, Text and Context, with its focus on vernacular approaches to the Bible in global Christianity, brings together critics of different stripes from throughout the world . . . The result constitutes an excellent point of departure for the series as well as an excellent contribution to the critical discussion.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A most timely and valuable proposal, highly sophisticated and highly creative... a most welcome addition.”
Theology
“The most comprehensive account and formulation to date of the theology of struggle being forged in the Philippines . . . A thorough, lucid, and sharp presentation of this important theological current and discourse.”
True to Our Native Land, Second Edition
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Given the many and profound changes in the social and cultural context of the country since the first edition of 2007, changes that have affected African Americans in direct and detrimental fashion, a second edition of this commentary is eminently in order. I find the updated edition to be duly encompassing and keenly incisive regarding the times. It is to be highly welcomed.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Praise for Using Our Outside Voice This is a much needed and most rewarding volume. For some time now, a number of volumes on political biblical criticism have appeared. These have examined the ways in which biblical texts can be invoked and deployed regarding key issues in contemporary society and culture. In so doing, these works bring the past and the present together in highly creative and sophisticated ways. This volume by Greg Carey on public biblical criticism continues in this vein. Its unique contribution to this ongoing discussion is an analysis of the dynamics and mechanics at work in any such criticism. Carey’s volume is an excellent mixture of personal voice, critical expertise, and gentle disposition. I find it a most welcome addition to this important strand of contemporary criticism.”
What Has Jerusalem to Do with Beijing?
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The author brings together for mutual dialogue and engagement, under the guiding principles of inclusivity and respect, Jerusalem (the Bible) and Beijing (Chinese culture). This he does by way of a sharp and fruitful combination of traditional themes from Chinese culture, Christian theology, and the biblical texts . . . The result is an excellent exercise in cross-cultural interpretation and a volume I would highly recommend to anyone interested in this unfolding global discussion.”
Wo/men, Scripture, and Politics
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In recent times, there has been a marked rise in political biblical criticism—the appeal to biblical texts to address major developments in the contemporary world. This has been true of both the Right and the Left of the religious-theological spectrum, academic and ecclesial alike. This volume inserts the always lucid, always sophisticated, always incisive voice of Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza into this critical discussion. This she does by foregrounding the need for biblical imprints or codes toward the advancement of women in the public sphere. As always, any contribution on her part is most consequential and most welcome.”
