Description:Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, 2006The Gospel thus advances a view of the religious beliefs and practices of Jesus and his movement as being in con?ict with the ruling circles of colonial Palestine, the overseeing masters of imperial Rome, and the supreme ruler of the demonic this-world  all characterized as in league with one another. This con?ict, moreover, bears broader, even universal dimensions. To begin with, it reaches beyond the ranks of the elite to the masses in general, whether in Palestine or throughout the Empire. In addition, it further encompasses, in principle, all political frameworks and all ethnic groupings beyond the borders of Rome. It is thus a con?ict that impinges ultimately on all human beings in the this-world. It is, therefore, a con?ict not only profoundly religious but also profoundly political. The Gospel is thus a text that seeks to Wield power in the religious and political spheres at once. It invalidates and displaces all existing institutions, authorities, values, norms, ideals, and goals, while promoting and emplacing alternative ones. This the Gospel does from within the imperial-colonial framework of Rome, and, as such, acknowledges and problematizes the uneven relationship of power at work within this framework, thereby making it a postcolonial text.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
