Abstract

THE EMERGING PROJECT OF ASIAN BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS: READING ASIAN READERS FERNANDO F. SEGOVIA The Divinity School, Vanderbilt University The world of biblical criticism has undergone profound and far- reaching changes since the mid-1970s. Such changes I would describe in terms of two fundamental stages of development, represented by literary criticism and cultural criticism, ultimately giving rise to a variety of competing paradigms and corresponding modes of discourse in the discipline today, each containing in turn a quite broad spectrum of interpretive approaches. The present issue of Biblical Interpretation, dedicated as it is to Asian biblical hermeneutics, represents a further contribution from and to the se- cond stage of development - cultural studies, with its twofold focus on the process of production and the process of reception. I should like to engage in a series of reflections on the project as a whole as exemplified by the highly suggestive and attractive essays in this collection. First, a striking feature of these studies lies in the breadth of methodological approaches and theoretical orientations employed by their authors, representing in effect the diversity of paradigms and discourses present in contemporary biblical criticism.
