This book consists of cutting-edge analyses of constructions of racial/ethnic identities in early Christian texts and contemporary contexts from the perspectives of minoritized nonwhite women New Testament scholars. The range of intersectionality comprises gender/sexuality, class, patriarchy, slavery, religion, and empire.
Nonwhite women primarily appear as marginalized voices, if at all, in volumes that address constructions of race/ethnicity and early Christian texts. Employing an intersectional approach, the contributors analyze historical, cultural, literary, and ideological constructions of racial/ethnic identities, which intersect with gender/sexuality class, religion, slavery, and/or power. Given their small numbers in academic biblical studies, this book represents a critical mass of nonwhite women scholars and offers a critique of dominant knowledge production. Filling a significant epistemological gap, this seminal text provides provocative, innovative, and critical insights into constructions of race/ethnicity in ancient and modern texts and contexts.
