Recenzii
This is a welcome addition to the expanding oeuvre of African biblical scholarship's contributions to biblical studies, this one offering an Anglo-Catholic Church perspective. Itwould be a good textbook in biblical interpretation by offering distinctly African Catholicbiblical interpretations. It also supplementsthe Francophone African Catholic scholarship,which has been the dominant African biblical scholarship.
The authors contributing to Bible, Interpretation, and Context offer scholarly and creative studies regarding the intersection of biblical and present-day African contexts and issues. In the process, they provide solid principles and examples of biblical interpretation for contextual theologizing. These chapters by highly regarded African and non-African biblical scholars are a tasty feast for those interested in biblical interpretation, contextual theology, and African studies. This volume also serves well as a very appropriate recognition of the excellent work of James Chukwuma Okoye, CSSp, as a scholar, administrator, mentor, and pastor.
This book is a splendid collection of essays and a marvelous tribute to a splendid scholar and splendid human being. Every essay probes the connection between the biblical text and African context, making it a valuable exercise in contextual biblical interpretation, both in content as well as in method. These pages clearly demonstrate that African biblical scholarship has truly come of age, in large part because of the pioneering work of James Chukwuma Okoye.
This collection of essays, a major statement by esteemed scholars and colleagues of James Chukwuma Okoye, reveals Okoye's passion for the Bible and biblical interpretation. The contributions take the expert and the ordinary reader through cultural hermeneutics, feminist hermeneutics, and more, the role of Scripture in the Church, and its impact in the African context. One cannot ignore the insight, profound wisdom, and the knowledge packed in these pages. A well written and delightful read.
Even as it honors James Chukwuma Okoye's scholarly and ministerial legacy, this remarkable, purposefully curated collection kindles the hermeneutical impulse to engage the Bible in ways that affirm and celebrate African cultural experience, wisdom, and memory. A bridge is laid down for more mutually enriching and mutually critical pathways to inculturation.
