A Postcolonial Commentary on Postcolonial Biblical Criticism the New Testament Writings page 42 Edited by Fernando F. Segovia and R. S. Sugirtharajah A Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testa- ment Writings represents a critical benchmark in postcolonial biblical criticism. It stands as the most comprehensive application to date of postcolonial criticism to the biblical texts, with its focus on the entire corpus of the New Testament. It places the reality and ramifications of imperial-colonial frameworks and relations at the centre of biblical criticism. The various entries pursue their analysis across a broad range of concerns and through a number of different approaches. They show, among other things, how texts and interpretations construct and/or relate to their respective imperial- colonial contexts; foreground literary, rhetorical, and ideological marks of coloniality and postcoloniality in both texts and interpretations; reveal how post- colonial reading strategies disrupt and destabilize hegemonic biblical criticism; and engage in critical dialogue with the visions and projects identified in texts as well as in interpretations.

“Using different methodological approaches, the contribu- tions are both original and well researched. A Postcolonial Commentary on the New Testament Writings is a very impressive book: Highly recommended.” – Marcella Althaus-Reid, University of Edinburgh, UK Fernando F. Segovia is Oberlin Graduate Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, at the Divinity School, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. R. S.

A Pauline Theology of Church Leadership Andrew Clarke In an earlier work, Serve the Community of the Church (Eerdmans, 2000), Andrew Clarke explored the distinctive, local and historical situations in the various Pauline communities and concluded that there is no evidence that they organised them- selves according to a common set of governmen- tal structures which clearly developed with the passage of time. In this new book, he builds on this, with a focus on leadership style rather than church order. It seeks to recover from Paul’s critical responses, his generic ethos of church leadership, including the ideal qualities, characteristics and task of leaders and the nature of appropriate interac- tion and engagement with church members. In the light of current, theoretical discussions about power and gender, the study focuses particularly on Paul’s attitude towards hierarchy, egalitarianism, authority, responsibility and privilege. Andrew Clarke is Senior Lecturer in New Testament at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
