Asian Biblical Interpretation: A Mapping

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: What is ‘Asian biblical interpretation’? How does this localized approach develop into a contextualized interpretation to attract scholarly attention? What are its perspectives, methods, and special interests? How may it contribute to biblical hermeneutics globally? By surveying the ways in which scholars in Asia and in the diaspora interpret the Bible to meet the challenges of their cultural, religious, colonial, postcolonial, social, political, economic, and racial contexts, this article attempts to answer these questions and map out the terrains and landmarks, and set a roadway to the emerging field of Asian biblical interpretation.
