Decolonial theory has eclipsed postcolonial theory as a resource for resistant analysis of empire, imperialism, colonialism, and neocolonialism. This is the first book-length, biblical-scholarly introduction to decolonial theory, a demonstration of its potential for both academic and “ordinary” biblical interpretation.
Postcolonial theory in the mode of Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, and, above all, Homi Bhabha has long been a resource for biblical scholars concerned with empire and imperialism, colonialism and neocolonialism. Outside biblical studies, however, postcolonial theory is increasingly eclipsed by decolonial theory with its key concepts of the coloniality of power, decoloniality, and epistemic delinking. Decolonial theory begs a radical reconception of the origins of critical biblical scholarship; invites a delinking of biblical interpretation from the colonial matrix of power; and provides resources for doing so, as this book demonstrates through a decolonial (un)reading of the Gospel of Mark.
