Decolonial Theory and Biblical Unreading
Delinking Biblical Criticism from Coloniality
Series:
Author:
Postcolonial theory in the mode of Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, and, above all, Homi Bhabha has long been a resource for biblical scholars concerned with empire and imperialism, colonialism and neocolonialism. Outside biblical studies, however, postcolonial theory is increasingly eclipsed by decolonial theory with its key concepts of the coloniality of power, decoloniality, and epistemic delinking. Decolonial theory begs a radical reconception of the origins of critical biblical scholarship; invites a delinking of biblical interpretation from the colonial matrix of power; and provides resources for doing so, as this book demonstrates through a decolonial (un)reading of the Gospel of Mark.
Stephen D. Moore, Ph.D. (1986), Trinity College Dublin, is Edmund S. Janes Professor of New Testament Studies at the Theological School, Drew University. His most recent monograph is The Bible after Deleuze: Affects, Assemblages, Bodies without Organs (Oxford University Press, 2023).
