Joshua Postcolonial

这个项目的目的是对《约书亚》中关于征服和定居的圣经叙事进行历史批判分析，这是由后殖民理论中发展起来的分析范畴提供的信息。该项目的目的并不是以语境神学的方式对这本书进行后殖民重读(当然，这是一项值得做的事情)。相反，它试图通过后殖民视角丰富历史批评的范围和方法，使之能够卓有成效地融入历史批判方法。将获得的工作计划将应用于《约书亚》全书，而不是目前的研究状态，在这种状态下，只考虑几个孤立的情节。

This project aims at an historical-critical analysis of the biblical narrative of conquest and settlement found in the book of Joshua which is informed by analytical categories developed in postcolonial theory. The project does not aim at a postcolonial relecture of the book in the fashion of contextual theologies (a worthwhile enterprise to be sure). Rather, it seeks to enrich the scope and method of historical criticism by those postcolonial perspectives which allow to be fruitfully integrated into an historical-critical approach. The work program to be gained will be applied to the book of Joshua in its entirety, as opposed to the present state of research in which only a few isolated episodes are considered.
