On the margins of the biblical canon and on the boundaries of what are traditionally called 'mainstream' Christian communities there have been throughout history writings and movements which have been at odds with the received wisdom and the consensus of establishment opinion. If one listens carefully, these dissident voices are reflected in the Bible itself-whether in the radical calls for social change from the Hebrew Bible prophets, with Jesus the apocalyptic prophet who also demanded social and economic justice for his oppressed people, or perhaps from the apocalyptic tradition's millenarian visions.
The use of the Bible has been fertile ground throughout Christian history for prophetic calls for radical change within society as a whole and the church in particular. The essays contained in this volume examine aspects of this radical tradition, its doctrine, hermeneutics, pedagogy, and social action. They offer a sustained development of the theme of the Bible and its reception and appropriation in the context of radical practices, and an exposition of the imaginative possibilities of radical engagement with the Bible in inclusive social contexts.
Part 1 treats New Testament texts directly-the Lukan writings, Paul and the Book of Revelation; Part 2 explores some examples of reception history and of radical appropriation of the Bible in history and literature; Part 3 addresses contemporary issues in liberation theology and public theology.
This book is a Festschrift in honour of Professor Christopher Rowland, the Dean Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture in the University of Oxford.

About the book >.>.> As Dean Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture at Oxford University, Chris has developed his insights and explored them with students. His academic horizons have kept broadening, as he has explored new dis-ciplines and encountered radical individuals and groups that most scholars find uninteresting-first-century Jewish mystics, John the Revelator, six-teenth-century Anabaptists, Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers, William Blake, the Panacea Society. As his students see Chris engaging these unimpor-tant people as kindred spirits, they also observe that it is possible to read the biblical texts from the point of view of marginalized people-demoniacs, women, lepers. In his audacious Inaugural Lecture as Dean Ireland's Professor in 1992, Chris joined Jesus in rejoicing that God has 'hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants' (Matt. 11:25; Rowland, 1993), and in his teaching he invites his students to have the same mind. Students find that Chris listens to them carefully, pushes them i. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM526-LN-11472
