American scholars of religion present readings of the Bible from perspectives of minority populations. Among their topics are a postcolonial look from the Cuban diaspora at exile in the Hebrew Bible, a Japanese American interpretation of Genesis 2-3, Ruth as the perpetual foreigner and model minority, Paul and ethnic difference in Romans, ancient Ethiopia and the New Testament, cross-examining John's engendering and transgendering word across different worlds, African Americans and intersectional realities in Acts 2, images of God and reading practices, and teaching for color consciousness.
