After Heresy

Theology

“This focussed and insightful book is a significant addition to the ever-growing literature on postcolonialism and theological studies. Besides cogently demonstrating that the transaction between the colonizer and the colonized is not one-sided, an attractive feature is the author's attempt to redefine the traditional Christian teachings on sin, evil, church, and eschatology from a postcolonial perspective. This book should be high on the list for anyone who wants to know the new trends in theological discourse.”

“A wholly new approach to the contentious relation between critical theory and theological application. This engaging piece of theological writing effortlessly transforms one of the most misunderstood forms of critical theory—postcolonial criticism—into a valuable instrument for constructing a cogent theology for ordinary people. The author’s candor and inventiveness come through forcefully in these pages.”

Text and Context

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This compelling volume explores in detail how vernacular experience informs the reading of the Bible so that the readers transform the texts and in turn are themselves transformed by it . . . this fine array of contributors excels in highlighting the complexities of transferring from local to global, rural to urban, street to seminary, and colonial to postcolonial. An indispensable read that has strength and scope to stand side by side with the dominant cosmopolitan exegesis.”
