Mbuvi argues that the emergence of biblical studies as a discipline in the West coincides with, and benefits from, the establishment of the colonial project. Mbuvi offers readings that destabilize and undermine dominant approaches and their ingrained prejudices, showing them as unresolved remnants of a colonial past."-- ER -
