Bibeltolkningens bakgator: Synen på slavar, judar och homosexuella i historia och nutid

Summary, in English

The purpose of this book is to analyse some of the most dreadful elements in the Wirkungsgeschichte of the Bible, i.e., how the biblical texts have been used as a weapon to humiliate, persecute and annihilate three marginalised groups: slaves, Jews and homosexuals. The three main chapters consist of (i) an exegetical presentation of the biblical passages, to which people have referred as proof texts for l’enseignement du mépris, and (ii) a hermeneutical analysis of how these texts have been interpreted vis-à-vis slaves (19th century), Jews (20th century) and homosexuals (21st century).
