Still at the Margins Summary

Still at the Margins: Biblical Scholarship Fifteen Years after the Voices from the Margin by Professor R. S. Sugirtharajah (University of Birmingham, UK)

"Still at the Margins" is a review of developments within biblical studies over the last fifteen years, since Sugirtharajah published his groundbreaking book, "Voices from the Margins". This anthology will be a unique publication in that it will bring together for the first time different marginal voices in one volume. There are volumes which look at specific marginal voices like black, and feminist biblical hermeneutics but there is no volume which addresses all the marginal voices. More importantly, the volume is written by the very experts who shaped the field, and now they get an opportunity to reflect on and try to move the agenda to the next stage.
