Interpreting Beyond Borders

Interpreting Beyond Borders by Fernando F. Segovia, published by A&C Black on April 1, 2000, is a first edition work comprising 191 pages in English. This book addresses the significant movement of people across countries and cultures, highlighting the emergence of the ‘diasporic intellectual.’ Segovia examines how the experiences of dislocation and displacement serve as a unique perspective for reflection and interpretation, particularly within theological studies and biblical criticism.

Readers will find a thorough exploration of the transborder biblical interpreters from the Two-Thirds World who are now active in the West, specifically in the United States and Europe. Segovia delves into the complexities of their multiple identities and how the feelings of ‘in-betweenness’ and homesickness shape their approach to biblical interpretation. This work contributes to the broader discourse on religion and biblical studies, offering insights into the intersection of migration and theological reflection.
