Synopsis

This volume of essays, the first of its kind, highlights some of the unique ways in which African women read and interpret the Bible in their diverse historical and cultural contexts. Early Bible translation and interpretation in Africa was carried out primarily by foreign missionaries and thus was deeply influenced by patriarchal and colonial ideologies. The strategies of resistance to these dominant traditions exemplified by the contributors to this volume include examining translations in their own languages and reading from a variety of perspectives. Although the authors write as individual scholars, their work has been shaped by the intersection of the biblical traditions with the various churches, women's groups, and other reading communities with which they are in conversation.
