About the Book

The contributors to this volume offer a bold re-reading of Hebrews and 1 Peter from the perspective of the Global South. The chapters provide enriching new hermeneutical and theological insights, revealing facets of the text that may not at first be apparent to readers within a Eurocentric context. The volume is thus able to explore topics ranging from the authorship of Hebrews in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and the Batak reading of Christus Victor, to a Xhosa perception of the solidarity and sacrifice of Jesus, and intercultural readings of Christian identity in the context of persecution. With an introduction and final response by scholars from the Global North, this volume encourages awareness of how the Global South contributes to world Christianity.

Review :
For evangelical missiology, the volume yields plentiful fodder for reflection. For those working on Hebrews or 1 Peter, this book is indispensable ... I expect it will become a standard resource in postgraduate seminars, both in 'majority world' scholarly institutions and in Euro-American institutions seeking to broaden their horizons.
