Habitats of the Basileia brings together some of the current and important work in biblical studies and theology which takes seriously the demands and possibilities of applying contextual feminist decolonial and ecological approaches to the critical study of the Bible and religion. The volume is inspired by the engaging work of Elaine M. Wainwright RSM; and invites us to imagine what thriving conditions and communities of the human and more-than-human might look like across multiple contexts.
What did it mean for those living in biblical times or for the early Jesus movement who proclaimed an alternative basileia or kingdom against the backdrop of Roman imperial power?
What does it mean for various communities today as we seek to understand and re-imagine what thriving conditions might look like in our own complex and often rapidly changing environments?
Written by a diverse range of biblical theological and religious studies scholars the chapters in this volume collectively argue for and demonstrate the importance of context and being attuned to social location in the production of biblical and theological scholarship.
The essays are divided into three categories: the first seven chapters deal with the Gospel of Matthew given the importance of this book to Elaine’s work. The next nine chapters explore biblical texts beyond Matthew through various lenses including those of gender colonialism the environment animal studies contextual hermeneutics and class. The final three chapters are concerned with the legacies of both Elaine’s lifework and the broader avenues in current biblical research that have been nurtured and influenced through her efforts.
