Through its analysis of history, race, and theology, this essay offers a unique and compelling approach to the discussion of ministry among women and child migrants. The critical discussion of Asian immigration and sociological patterns will be new and challenging to many readers.

Despite the existence of biblical laws pertaining to women, Cheryl Anderson, in her work Ancient Laws and Contemporary Controversies, observes that these same laws do not take into account the perspectives of women. Instead, they are formed from a “male perspective” with which female readers learn to identify through “immasculation.” Anderson proposes an alternative, liberationist, and inclusive approach, in which the realities of the marginalized serve as the point of departure, and suggests that one way to perform this task entails observing innerbiblical development between texts, drawing on the work of Terence Fretheim. Similar innertextual changes are also observable between interpretations of scriptural law, in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This essay therefore expands on the work of Anderson to compare certain biblical laws concerning women with examples of rewriting within the Scrolls. In this way, contemporary readers can observe a range of responses that may spark readings in which the marginalized voices of women are included.
尽管圣经中有关于女性的法律，但谢丽尔·安德森(Cheryl Anderson)在她的著作《古代法律与当代争议》(Ancient laws and Contemporary disputes)中指出，这些法律并没有考虑到女性的观点。相反，它们是从“男性视角”形成的，女性读者通过“男性化”来学习认同。安德森提出了一种替代的、自由主义的和包容的方法，在这种方法中，边缘化的现实作为出发点，并建议执行这项任务的一种方法是观察文本之间的圣经内部发展，借鉴特伦斯·弗雷特海姆的工作。在死海古卷中，对圣经律法的解释之间也可以观察到类似的文本内部变化。因此，本文扩展了安德森的工作，将某些关于妇女的圣经律法与羊皮卷中重写的例子进行比较。通过这种方式，当代读者可以观察到一系列的反应，这些反应可能会激发包括边缘化女性声音在内的阅读。

L. Isherwood
way led her, a Presbyterian minister, to develop what she calls a Spirit-Chi theology. Her research looking for a female divine led her to Sophia wisdom, but she found that not all religions have a concept of wisdom while all have a concept of Spirit. This discovery sparked her interest and led her to abandon her wisdom Christology and replace it with a search for Chi in Christian texts. The translation of Chi is wind, spirit, breath or energy which resonated with ruach in the Hebrew Bible. Grace comments on how important it is to decentre the English language in a postcolonial theology; there are at least 65,000 languages in the world, and so priority to one is nonsensical. Chinese doctors had discovered chi before Western doctors understood blood flow in the body and noted how important it is for health. Once chi is blocked, ill health follows, but it can be unblocked with acupuncture. This physical and embodied nature of chi makes the idea of god even more embodied; chi is not some distant concept, it is the very health-giving energy in our bodies. This concept has huge theological significance as well as cultural resonance. Grace concludes that chi theology helps to rectify the worst excesses of white Christianity such as racism and sexism and even opens the way for interfaith dialogue. This is a short but powerful book which I would encourage people to read.

African biblical scholars postulate that biblical interpretation in Africa involves linking biblical texts to African contexts. This means that the African interpreter of a biblical text focuses on its possible relevance in an African context rather than on the socio-historical background of the community that produced the text or on its literary form. The primary task of the reader of the Bible is then to engage the biblical text with an African context in order to (re-)construct a meaning that by Africans is perceived as life-affirming. This article considers the interpretation of Exodus 3.1-14 in the Lumpa Church of Alice Lenshina in Zambia, showing how the African context shapes an understanding of the Bible. The Lumpa Church was an African Independent Church, founded by Alice Lenshina in opposition to the teachings of the Free Church of Scotland missionaries in North Eastern Zambia.

Reconciliation often becomes a superficial term when dealing with cases of violence against women. In several cultures in Indonesia, it is common for reconciliation to be reduced to a retributive process. It has not yet developed according to restorative justice based on women victims. To attain justice, the concept of reconciliation based on the Bible, secular law in Indonesia, and traditional customs need to be reconsidered. This article aims to conduct a critical analysis in cases of violence against women and to offer reconciliation from the perspective of a feminist mission where women victims are the basis. Reconciliation as a mission is based on God’s mission, which invites the participation of the Church through its calling in the world where cases of violence are rampant. The research method used is qualitative research, including interviews as case studies.
