Beschreibungen

Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial/ethnic population in the United States. Especially since the 1990s, readings by Asian American biblical scholars have been increasing to meet the particular theological and pastoral concerns of their Christian racial/ethnic seminarians, clergy, and churches. Gale A. Yee is one of their major interpreters, becoming the first Asian American and first woman of color president of the oldest professional guild devoted to the critical study of the Bible, the Society of Biblical Literature. This book is an anthology of her major, ground-breaking essays on Asian American theorizing and analysis of the biblical text. It is a retrospective of her growth of over almost three decades in wrestling with questions like "What is Asian American biblical hermeneutics and how does one undertake it?"
Gale A. Yee is Nancy W. King Professor of Biblical Studies
<i>emerita</i>, Episcopal Divinity School. She is the author of
<i>Poor Banished Children of Eve; Jewish Feasts and the Gospel of John</i>;
<i>Composition and Tradition in the Book of Hosea, </i>as well as many edited books, articles and essays. She lives at Pilgrim Place, a retirement community in Claremont, California, known for its social activism.
“This groundbreaking volume charts the development of a leading Asian American feminist biblical scholar’s hermeneutical journey. Each chapter disrupts traditional biblical criticism by asking new questions and opening new vistas. The book will become a standard reference for all who want to learn how identity, race, gender, sexuality, and materiality intersect in biblical interpretation from an Asian American perspective. It is a work of tremendous originality, wit, and insight.”

<br> “Gale Yee is one of the premier interpreters of biblical texts and methodologies of our time. In
<i>Toward an Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics</i>, we receive offerings that illustrate the evolution of both method and interpreter as she masterfully interrogates simultaneously the intersection of (con)texts, methodologies, and Asian American identity. This volume is not simply a journaling of how method changes but a demonstration of twenty-first-century hermeneutics in action.”
