A People Tall and Smooth-Skinned
This volume sheds new light on an old and somehow puzzling text, Isaiah 18. Even though the majority of scholars over the years has regarded this chapter difficult to fully understand, the author of this volume demonstrates how Isa 18 can be seen as a coherent whole by showing itself to be an example of Hebrew rhetoric.
Postcolonial Perspectives in African Biblical Interpretations
This volume foregrounds biblical interpretation within the African history of colonial contact, from North Atlantic slavery to the current era of globalization. It reads of the prolonged struggle for justice and of hybrid identities from multifaceted contexts, where the Bible co-exists with African Indigenous Religions, Islam, and other religions. Showcasing the dynamic and creative approaches of an emerging and thriving community of biblical scholarship from the African continent and African diaspora, the volume critically examines the interaction of biblical texts with African people and their cultures within a postcolonial framework. While employing feminist/womanist, postcolonial, Afroce...
Can a Cushite Change His Skin?
Explores the ethnicity of the Cushites in the Hebrew Bible.
Context Matters: Old Testament Essays from Africa and Beyond Honoring Knut Holter
Bible interpretation cannot be detached from the context(s) of contemporary Christian Bible readers. Historically, Western biblical scholarship has placed itself atop the global interpretative hierarchy, limiting the issue of context to the ancient world of the Bible, while marginalizing the hermeneutical endeavors of the geopolitical South. In this volume, contributors challenge traditional historical-critical views of contextual interpretation with readings of the Bible that enhance our understanding of the Bible in the ancient world as well as in the global South and the global North.
Influences juives en Afrique

Depuis le temps d'Abraham, l'Afrique du Nord a été imprégnée de coutumes à la fois juives et païennes. Dans le même temps, des groupes juifs et égyptiens ont remonté le Nil en direction des terres africaines. Les liens entre juifs et Africains ont aussi favorisé l'évangélisation et facilité l'émergence des Eglises chrétiennes en Afrique. Les contacts avec le monde juif ont amené des Africains à accueillir le message biblique en lui donnant une place dans l'histoire du continent. Les Eglises indépendantes montrent en particulier comment la perspective juive a transformé ...
The Rescue of Jerusalem
This little-known story of biblical times is “one of those contingent moments in world history on which whole civilizations pivot” (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). At the turn of the eighth century BC, a mighty Assyrian army entered Judah and fought its way to the very gates of Jerusalem, poised, the prophet Isaiah warned, to “smash the city as easily as someone hurling a clay pot against the wall.” But the assault never came. Instead, the Assyrian army turned and fled, an event that has been called the Deliverance of Jerusalem. Whereas biblical accounts attribute the Assyrian retreat to divine intervention, this account offers an explanation that is miraculous in its own light: The si...
