Bible

The New Testament around the World Exploring Key Texts from Different Contexts Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn, editor Biblical scholars from a wide variety of contexts outside the West introduce students to global voices and explore how context im- pacts our interpretation of the New Testament. “This a book I’ve been waiting for. In it, we listen to and learn from scholars across the majority world. Each author offers a close reading of a New Testament text in its context, alongside an exploration of their own cultural and social locations. The insights arising from this intersection are both fresh and compelling. I highly recommend this as a textbook for courses on the Bible.” —Jeannine K. Brown, Bethel Seminary “The excellent scholarly essays in this important book, cover- ing aspects of the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation, demonstrate the significance of contextual scriptural interpreta - tion. Each chapter makes an important contribution, and the book as a whole is part of a seismic shift in the field of New Testament studies. I hope this volume is widely read by scholars and students alike.” —Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary’s Seminary & University
