Beschreibung:
Mitzi J. Smith is Associated Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Studies at Ashland Theological Seminary at Detroit. She is a contributor to True to Our Native Land (2008).
Too often the negative characterization of ""others"" in the biblical text is applied to groups and persons beyond the text whom we wish to define as the Other. Otherness is a synthetic and political social construct that allows us to create and maintain boundaries between ""them"" and ""us."" The other that is too similar to us is most problematic. This book demonstrates how proximate characters are constructed as the Other in the Acts of the Apostles. Charismatics, Jews, and women are proximate others who are constructed as the external and internal Other.
