Author Description

Rooted in and advocating for a postmodern and postcolonial understanding of mission, <i>Liberating Scripture</i> is the first book-length study designed specifically to introduce readers to the emerging subfield of biblical interpretation known as missional hermeneutics. The authors provide a thoroughgoing overview of the background and development, rationale, terminology, and methodology of missional hermeneutics, doing for biblical interpretation what <i>Missional Church </i>(edited by Darrell Guder et al., 1998) did for reimagining the church in light of the <i>missio Dei. </i>As the initial volume in the new Studies in Missional Hermeneutics, Theology, and Praxis series, <i>Liberating Scripture </i>is a critical resource for study and practical application, and its accessibility will make it a go-to text for classrooms and congregations.<br><br> <br>
