Call for Submissions

We invite you to contribute to our next series, "Asian American Interpretation of Scripture." In her introductory chapter to the New Testament in Color commentary, “Asian American Biblical Interpretation," editor Janette Ok offers a definition of an Asian American hermeneutical lens:

"Asian American biblical interpretation explicitly and intentionally approaches biblical texts not only by means of exegesis but also through diverse and overlapping Asian American experiences and histories. ...Asian American biblical interpretation is committed to reading with, for, and about those who have been minoritized due to their Asian identity, while also offering them critique.”(Janette Ok, “Asian American Biblical Interpretation,” in New Testament in Color, eds. McCulley, Ok, Padilla, Peeler, IVP: Downers Grove, 2025).

Articles in this series should interact with one specific passage or theme of Scripture, and offer an Asian American interpretation thereof. Questions to consider might be:

  • How does your Asian American heritage influence the way you read and interpret this passage?

  • In what ways does your Asian heritage offer a hermeneutical lens that is lost in the centuries long tradition of a White, Western lens?

  • How does this specific passage or theme apply uniquely to Asian American communities (Christian or not)?

  • How have you preached or taught a portion of Scripture specific to your Asian/church context?

Submission Details:
Articles should be 1200–1500 words and adhere to our AACC Style Guide.Please fill out the Google form linked below. Initial drafts should be submitted by Monday, April 6th.‍ ‍
