<em>Activism Bible and Research-Based Teaching</em> demonstrates how the cross-fertilisation between biblical studies and social justice activism generates creativity that is powerful empowering and inspiring. This volume offers diverse and critical insights as well as hands-on strategies for classroom settings. Shared emphasis on academic rigour and practical application is evident throughout.
Socially engaged biblical scholars-from Aoterora New Zealand Botswana Hong Kong South Africa Uganda the UK and the USA-focus on a spectrum of activist causes. Topics include resistance to discrimination on the grounds of HIV/AIDS status disability gender identity sexual orientation migrant status and ethnicity as well as advocacy for environmental protection equity and getting out of one’s ‘bubble’. Multiple chapters reflect on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tertiary education.
The volume contains an introduction and forewords by Richard Newton (University of Alabama USA) and Emily Colgan (Trinity Theological College Aotearoa New Zealand). The 14 chapters include 12 revised contributions previously published in a special issue of the open access Journal of Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies alongside two new chapters which were both presented at a Bible and Activism event combining community and academic engagements.
