Description
The chapters in this volume present a wide-ranging conversation on the gospel of John. With postcolonial readings from Asia and Africa, readings that touch on race from very different and yet very American perspectives, and feminist readings informed by Mexico, Turkey, and Botswana; these readings reflect a wide range of experiences and understandings of John's gospel. Each essay grounds its analysis both in the scholarly conversation and in the writer's own community and origins.
Chapters include issues such as race, migration, honor, and questions around motherhood and reproduction. The list of distinguished contributors is extremely diverse, featuring voices from all continents, in particular the work of African scholars.
