Synopsis "The Social Life of Scriptures: Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Biblicism (Signifying (On) Scriptures Series) (in English)"

What do Christians do with the Bible? How do Christians-individually and collectively-interact with this sacred collection of texts? Why does this engagement shift so drastically among and between social, historical, religious, and institutional contexts? Such questions are addressed in a most enlightening, engaging, and original way in The Social Life of Scriptures. James S. Bielo and his contributors offer a collection of closely analyzed and carefully conducted ethnographic and historical case studies. Each essay provides an up-close view of what happens amidst the social life of the Christian scriptures. These provocative essays cover an impressive range of geographic, theological, and cultural territory, including: American evangelicals and charismatics; Jamaican Rastafarians; evangelical and Catholic Mayans; Northern Irish charismatics; Nigerian Anglicans; and Chinese evangelicals in the United States. The Social Life of Scriptures is the first book to present an eclectic, cross-cultural, and comparative investigation of Bible use. Moreover, it models an important movement to outline a framework for how scriptures are implicated in organizing social structures and meanings, with specific foci on gender, ethnicity, agency, and power.
