How to Read the Bible as Asian Americans

Dr. Roger Nam teaches the Hebrew Bible at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. He teaches a course on The Bible and Asia America for college and master students. He points out that biblical figures such as Adam and Eve, Abraham, Issac, Joseph, Esther, and Ruth have to migrate to foreign lands. The Bible addresses issues such as identity, community, trauma, and justice, issues that Asian Americans care about. He highlights his latest book, The Theology of the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah, and the implications of reverse migration in the Bible and today.
