Notes: "These articles reflect the state of my research at the time they were written [from 1997 to 2015]; I have intentionally not updated them so that the reader can follow my journey into transformative intercultural hermeneutics. At the end of each main section, I provide comments that place that section's contributions in the context of my overall intercultural Bible reading journey through the years, and I also evaluate my earlier viewpoints"--Preface, page x.
