This collection of essays connects postcolonialism and the Gospel of John, with writing by international scholars, both established and new voices from Hispanic, African, Jewish, Chinese, Korean and African-American backgrounds. The book explores topics such as the appropriation of John's Gospel in settler communities of the United States and Canada, and the use of John in the colonization of Africa, Asia, Latin America and New Zealand. The interpreters represent communities of borderland dwellers, women in colonized settings, minority ethnic groups within colonized centres and others. In an era of rapid globalization, increased travel, rising diasporic communities and neo-colonialism, it is crucial that biblical scholars find ways to address this world with critical skill and sensitivity.
