Disrupting Empires Volume 1: Randall C. Bailey's Black Biblical Interpretation

Various scholars routinely explore critical aspects of race and culture, gender and sexuality, and power in a range of academic disciplines. As that work continues, the role of biblical studies increasingly is an important conversation partner. The impact of biblical studies stretches well beyond Hebrew Bible and New Testament, reaching into the disciplines and fields of ethics, theology, womanism, religious studies, and beyond. And the contributions of Hebrew scholar Randell C. Bailey sit at the nexus for such interdisciplinary work.

Disrupting Empires, Volume 1: Randall C. Bailey's Black Biblical Interpretation curates Bailey's work as a groundbreaking scholar of the interdisciplinary movement within biblical studies. As part of a two-volume set, this collection of Bailey's key essays allows scholars from diverse communities and disciplines to engage with Bailey's work as a foundation to explore trajectories of the biblical text that impact their own areas of study. As an interdisciplinary resource, Disrupting Empires, Volume 1: Randall C. Bailey's Black Biblical Interpretation will find resonance throughout the corners of biblical studies and far beyond.
