The Bible and/as the Lynching Tree: A South African Tribute to James H. Cone

Résumé

In this tribute to James H. Cone I reflect on his biblical-theological hermeneutics, drawing on work that spans nearly fifty years, but concentrating on his most recent book, The Cross and the Lynching Tree . I identify in Cone’s work radical hermeneutics of reception, which I then bring into dialogue with Itumeleng Mosala’s radical hermeneutic of production. This dialogue, I argue, offers us significant biblical-theological capacities for a post-apartheid biblical hermeneutics of decolonisation, with specific reference to South Africa’s land expropriation debate.
