Biblical Studies Thought Of The Day by slaveofone

It is no longer valid to ask for a unity or consensus in biblical studies. The only unity or consensus that was possible in the past was built upon and inextricably tied to things such as Positivism, Elitism, Colonialism, Imperialism, Ethnocentrism, Romanticism, or Sexism, which are no longer acceptable or valid bases. The essential prerogative of biblical studies must now be to ask for and seek a multidisciplinary enterprise and a pluralistic awareness.
