For centuries, the Bible has been used by colonial powers to undergird their imperial designs--an ironic situation when so much of the Bible was conceived by way of resistance to empires. In this thoughtful book, Mark Brett draws upon his experience of the colonial heritage in Australia to identify a remarkable range of areas where God needs to be decolonized--freed from the bonds of the colonial.
A challenging but excellent book. Mark is one of the leading academics and theologians at Whitley College, Melbourne. He is an excellent authority on both the old testament and post colonial theological thinking.
