Status Updates From New Interpreter's Bible: Ge...

So far: Intro to the New Interpreter’s Bible; How We got Our Bible; and Modern English Versions of the Bible. I’m on page 33, and there are 305 pages of articles before it gets to Genesis. After reading the Bible in 6 weeks, I’m even more interested than usual in general Biblical scholarship.

Reading the Bible from Particular Social Locations - An Introduction and Reading the Bible as African Americans (pp.150-160) (James Earl Massey) - Pretty much as you would expect, that the experiences of African Americans and other marginalised groups bring different insights to traditional readings of Scripture (can't help noticing that that all of the "marginalised" groups they've picked are all Americans though!)
