Description: "Grant Me Justice: HIV/AIDS & Gender Readings of the Bible anthology proposes gender-sensitive multi-sectoral readings of the Bible in the light of the HIV and AIDS epidemic. The approach factors how the epidemic works with class, gender, age, race, migrant status, violence, international relations, sexual and ethnic identity to expose the world and certain groups to infection." "The book, therefore, proposes justice seeking ways of re-reading the Bible that affirm life, the right to healing, care, medicine and treatment, the human rights of all, while it counteracts the social structures of poverty, gender injustice, stigma, violence, international injustice, which are the fertile grounds for the spread of HIV and AIDS."--BOOK JACKET.
