After outlining exegetical and hermeneutical procedures for contextual interpretation, she reads the Former Prophets in the context of four hundred years of colonial victimization and a continuing struggle against neocolonialism by marginalized and exploited communities such as those in the Philippines. She argues that Joshua 1:1-9 exhorts strength and courage against exploitation and domination by empire. Her work identifies themes and concepts in the Deuteronomistic History that subvert imperial ideology and that can serve as a model for other work in contextual hermeneutics of biblical texts"--Back cover.
