Return to Babel
If you're thinking of studying (or are required to study) how different cultures interpret choice passages in the Bible, this work would be of great help to you. The editors (John and Priscilla Pope-Levison) have selected ten passages, five from the Old Testament and five from the New, and included an Asian, African, and Latin American interpretation for these passages. The reader receives a cultural context given by whichever author is writing, an explanation of the text, and a section of application and reflection that ties the text back to their culture. It is interesting and helpful in getting a wide demographic of views about each passages application.
I must warn young readers that some of the cultural examples given are quite explicit; describing violent murders, troubling circumstances, rape and emotionally shocking situations. Discretion is encouraged.
This book does find it's purpose in God though, and all principles lead back to Him.
It is an educational and informational read.
