Reading the Bible, Learning Ourselves: A Contextual Bible Study with Culturally Hybrid Youth
Cariaga, Peter H.
Religious Education, v117 n5 p426-438 2022
While the resources for biblical interpretation are multiplying, there are no current models for reading biblical texts in community with culturally hybrid persons. Contextual Bible Study (CBS) presents a pedagogical framework to help fill the gap. This article offers an overview of CBS as well as a case study that looks at a reading community (a specific group of culturally hybrid young adults) that uses a relevant experience (migration-related grief) to interpret a resonant text (Lamentations 1).
