Emancipation for the Wretched of the Earth: The Biblical Interpretation of Soares-Prabhu

Postcolonialism is a philosophical discipline where everything is contested from the standpoint of the oppressed and the colonized. Gargi Mukherjee, research analyses the Biblical interpretations from postcolonial perspectives in her book Emancipation for the Wretched of the Earth: A Postcolonial Interpretation of the Bible. She makes a critical study of Biblical interpretations from a postcolonial perspective, from which both theologians and biblical scholars can profit. Through her philosophical acumen, she has managed to open new horizons to theological commitment, especially to the poor and the marginalised (the nativists of subalterns of postcolonialism). She projects George Soares-Prabhu, an eminent Indian Biblical hermeneut, as a valuable postcolonial Biblical scholar, drawing from his deep concerns for liberation of the poor and dialogue with the other religions.Updated to PD
