by Dong Hyeon Jeong (Author)
Drawing on the fields of nonhuman studies and postcolonial ecocriticism, Dong Hyeon Jeong disrupts anthropocentric readings of Mark by engaging animality, vegetality, and animacy theories in light of (colonized) ethnicity. His intersectional reading of Mark highlights the importance of engaging nonhuman biblical interpretation while being sensitive to the issue of racism arising from animalizing the other. By doing so, this book reimagines the Markan Jesus as the colonized messiah who embraces the nonhuman.
