Caught Reading Again : Scholars and Their

In this unique book, R. S. Sugirtharajah has invited an impressive cast of leading theologians from around the world to re-read the book that inspired them the most at the outset of their career, or earlier, and then describe what that book offers them now, and how the book and they themselves have changed - theologically, culturally, politically, personally or professionally - since that first inspiring read.

R. S. Sugirtharajan is Professor of Biblical Hermeneutics at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of many books and articles on postcolonial biblical hermeneutics.
