Reading Ruth in Settler Colonial Australia

by Lindsay, Rebecca
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781628378269

Rebecca Lindsay interprets the book of Ruth from her location in Australia. Drawing on interdisciplinary methods, including decolonial studies, this volume places the book of Ruth in conversation with texts from Australia and stories from Linday's own experience, revealing common themes of home, land, memory, and identity. Engagement with Indigenous voices and settler colonial studies leads to an honest grappling with the challenges of decolonizing biblical interpretation. Scholars and students of both biblical studies and Australian studies will discover how to adopt embodied reading postures that offer an alternative to traditional biblical hermeneutics.

Spiritual Complaint: The Theology and Practice of Lament
<b>A selection of essays exploring the biblical tradition of lament in the face of tragedy, and its role in the life of the modern Church.</b> <p/>Every life, and every land and people, has reasons for lament and complaint. This collection of essays explores the biblical foundations and the contemporary resonances of lament literature. <p/>This new work presents a variety of responses to tragedy and a world out of joint are explored. These responses arise from Scripture, from within the liturgy of the church, and from beyond the church&#x3b; in contemporary life (the racially conflicted land of Aotearoa- New Zealand, secular music concerts and cyber-space). The book thus reflects upon theological and pastoral handling of such experience, as it bridges these different worlds. It brings together in conversation specialists from different fields of academy and church to provide a resource for integrating faith and scholarship in dark places.
