The Bible, Centres and Margins ― Dialogues Between Postcolonial African and UK Biblical Scholars

This volume addresses missing dialogue between British and African scholars, in regards to the role of British missionaries during the introduction of the Bible and Christianity to Southern Africa. Questioning how well UK Students understand African-centred and generated approaches of biblical criticism, whether African scholars consider UK-centric criticism valid, and how accurately the western canon represents current UK based scholarship, the essays in this work illustrate the trends and challenges faced in biblical studies in the two centres of study, and discusses how these questions are better answered with dialogue, rather than in isolation.
