Sea Of Readings: The Bible In The South Pacific (Semeia Studies)

Readings by South Pacific islanders This book offers readings of the Bible by native biblical critics from the South Pacific (Pasifika). An essay from editor Jione Havea introduces the volume by locating these essays within islander criticism and by explaining the flow of the book. Essays are presented in three sections. ôIsland Twistsö offers readings that twist, like a whirlpool, biblical texts around insights of Pasifika novelists, composers, poets, and sages. ôIsland Turnsö contains contextual readings that turn biblical texts toward Pasifika. ôAcross the Seaö contains responses by biblical critics from across the sea. Features Contributions to islander criticism A showcase of texts by native writers, poets, and composers Crosscultural and postcolonial readings
