About this video
Runtime: 17 minsOlabisi Obamakin discusses the history of our present hermeneutics. Biblical studies in the 17th and 18th centuries, focussed on historical and cultural contexts dominated by elites, reflecting colonial power structures. Obamakin discusses how post-colonial and feminist approaches later challenged these norms, emphasizing modern-day issues like racism and poverty. Scholars like Musa Dube, Renita Weems, and Gale Yee have critiqued these colonial legacies. She also explores the concept of "Afro" identity, blending African and European traditions, and proposes a Nigerian British women's hermeneutical framework for biblical interpretation. She uses her personal experiences and literature by black British women to offer new insights into biblical texts.
