Download or read book African Biblical Studies written by Andrew M. Mbuvi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew M. Mbuvi makes the case for African biblical studies as a vibrant and important emerging distinct discipline, while also using its postcolonial optic to critique biblical studies for its continued underlying racially and imperialistically motivated tendencies. Mbuvi argues that the emergence of biblical studies as a discipline in the West coincides with, and benefits from, the establishment of the colonial project that included African colonization. At the heart of the colonial project was the Bible, not only as ferried by missionaries, who often espoused racialized views, to convert “heathens in the distant lands,” but as the text used in the racialized justification of the colonial violence. Interpretive approaches established within these racist and colonialist matrices continue to dominate the discipline, perpetuating racialized interpretive methodology and frameworks. On these grounds, Mbuvi makes the case that the continued marginalization of non-western approaches is a reflection of the continuing colonialist structure and presuppositions in the discipline of biblical studies. African Biblical Studies not only exposes and critiques these persistent oppressive and subjugating tendencies but showcases how African postcolonial methodologies and studies, that prioritize readings from the perspective of the marginalized and oppressed, offer an alternative framework for the discipline. These readings, while destabilizing and undermining the predominantly white Euro-American approaches and their ingrained prejudices, and problematizing the biblical text itself, posit the need for biblical interpretation that is anti-colonial and anti-racist.
Download or read book Albert Schweitzer written by George Seaver and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of one of the titans of our time, together with a full appreciation of his revolutionary thought and writings, is now revised to include new materials on the eighth decade of Dr. Schweitzer’s life and work at Lambaréné. The book tells two exciting stories: the outward events of Schweitzer’s life—his childhood in Alsace, his career in Strasbourg, his organ studies and recitals, his decision to become a medical missionary in Africa, and his long labors there; and a review of his great intellectual and spiritual contributions—his upsetting of Biblical criticism, his profound insights into Christ, St. Paul, Bach and Goethe, his philosophy of civilization and reverence for life. “Seaver’s book is without equal in opening to us simply and clearly a view of the life and mind of Schweitzer of Lambaréné, Africa, Europe and the World.”—Christian Century “Mark this down as a great biography of a man whom many regard as our greatest living contemporary.”—Living Church “Step by step Seaver leads the reader to look at life with Schweitzer, in order to understand his attitude toward Greek eudaemonism, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and finally the building up of his affirmation [Reverence for Life]...Those of us who seek to understand the meaning of Schweitzer’s life and thought and ‘realized fellowship with the living Christ’s must master this tiny book, so filled with spiritual reality.”—EDWARD H. HUME “Dr. Seaver’s excellent work should appeal not only to Schweitzer’s many admires, but to those anxious to find a way out of the baffling labyrinth of current world conditions.”—Christian Century “This swift yet fundamental survey of one whole trend in the intellectual life of man is a remarkable piece of work. It proves that Schweitzer is one of the great thinkers of our time.”—JOHN HAYNES HOLMES
