| P21-245 The Forum on Missional Hermeneutics 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM 11/21/2021 Conference Room 14 Missional Hermeneutics and Whiteness Whiteness, as both a historical reality and as an ideological construction, has had profound consequences for Christian theology, mission, and biblical interpretation. This panel session will focus critically on the interaction between the assumptions and intuitions of Whiteness and the reading and interpretation of biblical texts, as well as their entailments and consequences in the Christian community and the world. Discussion will explore and interrogate the influence of Whiteness on hermeneutical theory and practice in general and with respect to missional hermeneutics in particular.
