The Postcolonial Church: Bible, Theology and Mission is an interdisciplinary project that uses a postcolonial reading lens to critique coloniality and misuse of power in the Kenyan Church as well as society. The authors discuss how power can be misused, causing untold violence against innocent victims. In the spirit of activism and social justice, the book calls for ending of violence against the so called Other in all its forms—including but not limited to political violence, religious violence, gender violence, and economic violence. Consequently, this book can be a resource for church leaders and social justice activists. It is also useful to scholars and students in the fields of Bible and Theology, political science, gender studies, racial/ethnic conflict management, and peace studies, among others.

Wafula and Duggan bring together the words “knowledge” and “activism” moving beyond decolonial theories without praxis and real change. In this ground-breaking book readers are called to knowledge activism. Knowledge activism disrupts the colonial system of knowledge production that sanitizes narrative according to a universalized set of values and standards, set by a few, to benefit some and costing many whose voices are never heard. By changing the way knowledge is cultivated, produced, and distributed, Knowledge Activists actively challenge hegemonic norms that cause injustices for authors and readers by extension.

Knowledge Activism Beyond Theory: A Worldwide Call to Action

Duggan, Joseph F.

Biblical Representations of Moab: A Kenyan Postcolonial Reading employs critical theories on colonial, anticolonial, and postcolonial ethnicity and African cultural hermeneutics to examine the overlap of politics, ethnicity, nationality, economics, and religion in contemporary Kenya and to utilize those critical tools to illuminate the Hebrew Bible narratives concerning the Moabites. This book can be used by teachers and students of contemporary methods in Hebrew Bible studies, postcolonial studies, Africana studies, African biblical hermeneutics, political science, gender studies, history, philosophy, international studies, religion and peace studies, African affairs, and ethnic/racial conflict and resolution studies. It would also be of immense value to clergy and lay leaders engaged in interfaith or interethnic/racial dialogue.
