Toward Decentering the New Testament
I am incredibly grateful and excited to share that Toward Decentering the New Testament: A Reintroduction, which I co-authored with Dr. Mitzi J. Smith, has officially crossed the 3,000-copy sales milestone! In the world of academic publishing and specialized theological textbooks, this level of reader adoption is a true milestone. When Dr. Smith and I wrote this book, our goal was to challenge traditional, Eurocentric frameworks and offer a liberative, minoritized, and intersectional approach to biblical studies. To see it widely adopted on university and seminary syllabi—and to know it is actively shaping how the next generation of students engages with the text—is deeply fulfilling. A massive thank you to our publisher, Cascade Books, and to every educator, student, and scholar who has read, assigned, and cited our work. Here's to continuing the vital work of decentering!
