International Voices in Biblical Studies

Welcome to International Voices in Biblical Studies (Online ISSN 1949-8411), an online, peer reviewed, open-access book series that provides a platform for biblical critics and authors particularly from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and Eastern Europe. The series will publish scholarly, creative, and compelling works that engage the biblical text, its history, reception, and interpretation. Works could be traditional or experimental in method and perspective, but with serious attention to context, be it local, regional or global. Submissions in local vernaculars will also be considered. Whenever possible, the works will be published in English and the primary language of the author.
