"This anthology rides on the waves of contextual, cultural, and postcolonial criticisms, containing readings of biblical texts by islanders who are rooted in Asia, America, Caribbean, Europe, and Oceania ... Most of the chapters were delivered at sessions of the Society of Biblical Literature group Islands, Islanders, and Bible (since 2009), renamed in 2012 as Islands, Islanders and Scriptures."--Preface, page vii.
