RT Article T1 Response to "Embracing Postcolonialism: The Future of Christian Education" by Mark A. Maddix JF Christian education journal VO 15 IS 3 SP 491 OP 493 A1 Short, Sharon Warkentin LA English PB Sage Publications YR 2018 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1662619588 AB The commitment of postcolonial studies to honor the perspectives of oppressed and marginalized groups is commendable. However, allowing the contemporary context of any group to determine the meaning of a Scripture passage is suspect. The context of the composition of the text, rather than the context of the reader, should guide interpretation.
