{"product_id":"bible-and-colonialism-michael-prior-9781850758150","title":"Bible and Colonialism: A Moral Critique","description":"The biblical claim of the divine promise of land is integrally linked with a divine mandate to exterminate the indigenous people. The narrative has supported virtually all Western colonizing enterprises (e.g. in Latin America, South Africa, Palestine), reaulting in the suffering of millions of people, and loss of respect for the Bible. According to modern secular standards of human and political rights, what the biblical narrative calls for a war-crimes and crimes against humanity. In this provocative and compelling study, Prior protests at the neglect of the moral question in conventional biblical studies, and attempts to rescue the Bible from being a blunt instrument in the oppression of people. Dr. Michael Prior is Head of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at St. Mary's University College, University of Surrey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Prior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1850758158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781850758150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.38w x 0.73d","brand":"Michael Prior","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939004842239,"sku":"9781850758150","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_90904804-6512-4ab6-b190-ac28e7b8add4.jpg?v=1681438933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bible-and-colonialism-michael-prior-9781850758150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
