About the Book
This book discovers the possibility of looking at the Biblical Texts through the eyes of women who are living with HIV and AIDS. In this postmodern world, there is always a stigmatic perspectival look towards the people who are living with pandemics such as HIV and AIDS. This research work is an attempt to excavate liberative elements from the Bible for the sake of attitudinal transformation. For this, the author has dealt in with three Old Testament passages in particular. This learned work also ensures that the Biblical narratives could be re-interpreted from the perspectives of women living with HIV and AIDS to excavate practical implications and to contribute an alternative consciousness toward transforming the thinking of the Indian Church and society.
