A Select more inclusive bibliography-draft version (January, 2002)
Third world and other marginalized voices tend not to distinguish sharply between biblical and theological readings and practical application (praxis), let alone classically separate Old and New Testaments, although many scholars have Euro-American theological educations. The occasional North America voice speaking for Third World perspectives and males speaking favorable on feminist hermeneutics have also been included below as a bibliographic resource. The list cites major players and sources and recurrent points of entry into this diverse area-recent and present. There are also published scholars from non-Euro-American backgrounds, or of minority status (female and male), whose works on standard NT topics are equally accessible and inclusively listed in such bibliographies as Discovering Latino Religion: a comprehensive Social Science bibliography--Ref Z7757.U5 D57 1995; The Bible and Modern Literary Criticism-Ref Z770 .P68 1992 and Literary-Critical Approaches to the Bible: an annotated bibliography-Ref Z770 .M66 1992. Other useful locales for further bibliographic retrieval is New Testament Abstracts, [General, and Literary Forms/Techniques & Methods of Study sections] and Elenchus of Biblica, especially the sections under Introductio: Hermeneutica; and Interpretatio humanistica and Femina, familia, for similar alternate voices specifically on New Testament. The Library covets more citations for this on-going bibliographic quest and requests additional findings to be sent along to ref-desk@CTSnet.edu
