Critical Review
The article “Reading Scripture for Good News that Crosses Barriers of Race/Ethnicity,
Class, and Culture” written by Bob Ekbald, provides a perspective regarding successful biblical
communication between different cultures. The article discusses what is required to learn how to
read scripture multiculturally.
The many topics the article covered are as follows:
Being aware of the facilitator's own cultural and theological assumptions.
Identifying how others present racial/ethnic and cultural images of God.
Awareness of drawbacks to hearing the gospels and to effective communications
strategies.
Expectation to listen in an innovative way to preach the Good News of God's
The growing concern regarding the leading of God's Spirit and the gifts of the
Spirit1
