| Resumo: | Introduction: reading the Bible in Asia today -- Challenges that confront any attempt to construct a contextual hermeneutic -- Reading and nonspecialist readers: raising consciousness -- Reading and the other: a framework for conversation -- Making connections -- Reading Daniel 1 in the classroom of national education -- Braving the furnace of the lion's den in the lion city -- Whose dreams? -- Daniel: from the ancient Near East to Singapore -- Conclusion: possible futures for Bible and Asia?. "In this book, Stephen Lim offers a contextual way of reading biblical texts that shifts the understanding of context from its ontological dimensions to a spatial conception of a geopolitical space entangled with the intercontextual arena of the modern/colonial world system and intracontextual networks of knowledge production. His proposed multicentric dialogue then brings together a conscientisation of the specialist readers' positionality in relation to nonspecialist readers and a rethinking of dialoguing with the Other that brings in interlocutors who are contextually determined. This is applied to his context in Singapore through a reading of Daniel where perspectives from western biblical scholarship, Asian traditions and Singaporean cultural products are brought together to dialogue on issues of transformative praxis and identity formation"-- |
