| Description: |
"Reading the Bible in Australia" examines how the Bible shapes Australian identity and addresses contemporary issues such as indigeneity, colonization, migration, gender, and climate. The book brings diverse perspectives to the Bible's influence on debates about who Australians have been, are, and hope to become.
Contributors offer new, contextually informed readings of biblical themes, questioning the outcomes of interpreting the Bible in different ways. Acknowledging the harm caused by the Bible's misuse in history, the book argues that biblical literacy and critical analysis are essential for navigating Australia's current challenges. As Meredith Lake's The Bible in Australia suggests, understanding how the Bible has been interpreted can aid Australians in making informed choices about their future. Love it or hate it, there is no getting around the reality that the Bible, and how it is read, still matters. |
