Abstract
This article is an attempt to answer the question, what are we being called to do as biblical scholars in Asia today? What is our calling? De riving inspiration from the story of the healing of the paralytic in Mark 2, this article critiques the traditional western biblical studies we inherited from the west. This approach sees the task of biblical studies as mere determination of “what the text meant in ancient times.” There is now acknowledgment that biblical studies is contextual. But this realization is also insufficient. There is a need to identify calls for a way of doing biblical studies that goes beyond the modern western approach to the discipline, which confines the text''s meaning to the ancient time. In stead, as reflected in the view of the Bible as Scripture.
