A snapshot of chapter 8. Entitled A New Testament - Changing Positionality,Changing Interpretation. Emma Swai.
So it "finally" arrived through my door. I am actually really proud of this chapter, purely because I wanted to open up on the fact that experience changes exegetes (even if we like to pretend it doesn't).
Thank you @davidbolt13.bsky.social for giving me a soap box to stand on!
