African Biblical Studies : Unmasking Embedded Racism and Colonialism in Biblical Studies

Mbuvi makes the case for African biblical studies as a vibrant and important emerging distinct discipline, whilst also critiquing biblical studies for its continued underlying racially and imperialistically motivated tendencies. Mbuvi argues that the emergence of biblical studies as a discipline in the West coincides with, and benefits from, the establishment of the colonial project. Mbuvi offers readings that destabilize and undermine dominant approaches and their ingrained prejudices, showing them as unresolved remnants of a colonial past.--
