ABSTRACT
The intention of the biblical resistant hermeneutic is to raise an alternative consciousness and show how oppressive systems and practices can be challenged and exposed so that such systems and practices are reconfigured for socio-economic transformation or an order for liberation. The cultural meaning of the sociality of existence in our socio-geographic space must condition Caribbean biblical hermeneutical practice even if it is not necessarily the first step in biblical interpretation. Praxis of resistance is a strategy for social transformation, in which biblical texts are read within the context of struggle and out of a commitment to social justice. In biblical texts, both the text and text-maker are not only saying but also doing something, generating a "world" that exists in rhetorical presentation. One of the observations this study makes is that Caribbean biblical hermeneutical practice seeks to know the socio-historical realities in which God is revealed.
