The Power of the Word: Scripture and the Rhetoric of Empire
What is the purpose of reading the Bible? Elisabeth Schüssler
Fiorenza tackles the tough question of the Bible's role in the
world today and how its vision can further a more just world. She
shows particularly the radical power of the Word to challenge
imperial ways, the humiliation of persons, and the use of religion
itself to keep people down, today as then. Finally, she offers an
understanding of the implications of such a program for the
field and practice of biblical studies, an indispensable partner in
challenging the status quo.
