description: An exciting collection of essays connecting postcolonial issues with the Gospel of John. The contributors include both established and new voices from Hispanic, African, Jewish, Chinese, Korean and African-American backgrounds. They represent communities of borderland dwellers, women in colonised settings, minority ethnic groups within colonised centres and others. Biblical scholars need to find ways to address world of rapid globalisation, increased travel, rising diasporic communities and neo-colonialism with critical skill and sensitivity. This book aims to fill this need, exploring topics such as the appropriation of John's gospel in settler communities of the United States and Canada, and the use of John in the colonization of Africa, Asia, Latin America and New Zealand.
