It holds that Christian texts point beyond their origin, inviting their readers to act them out in history and cross-culturally. Hence, the paper proposes a post-colonial feminist reading strategy that strives to understand how the ideology of various ancient imperial settings informed biblical texts; that scrutinizes the power relations propounded by mission texts in their constructions of different cultures and people; that takes up an open space as a framework of reading for decolonization and liberating interdependence between women of different cultures in the world.}, pages = {11--26}, journaltitle = {Semeia}, author = {Dube, Musa W.}, date = {1997}, note = {Free}, }
