Highly integrative critical analysis of each of the New Testament writings are provided by eminent theologians mostly from the anglophone world, but also the Philippines and Brazil. In a 68-page introduction, Segovia (Vanderbilt U., Tennessee) compares the contributions in terms of the meaning and scope of postcolonial criticism, approach and argument in postcolonial criticism, the Christian Church and the Roman Empire in postcolonial criticism, and interpretive findings and critical stance. Sugirtharajah (U. of Birmingham, England) presents an epilogue on the next phase of postcolonial and biblical interpretation. The anthology was first published in 2007 as volume 13 of the Bible and Postcolonialism series. It is not indexed. T&T Clark is an imprint of Continuum.
