Searching for Feminist / Liberationist / Postcolonial Biblical Readers for Intro to Christianity Course

    To the theologian hive mind: I'm in the process of overhauling an Intro to Christianity course to focus on the Christian Bible and its past and present interpretations. Does anyone know of a reader or anthology that gathers feminist, liberationist, or postcolonial glosses on particular biblical pericopes, sort of a contemporary "Catena Aurea"?  I'd like students to have the experience of reading and discussing biblical texts and subsequent interpretations of these same texts from the patristic period to the present.  There's clearly no shortage of introductions to biblical hermeneutics from subaltern perspectives, but is there anyone out there doing the same type of glosses for specific passages that the likes of Origen and Bede did in their days, and what Phyllis Trible and Carol Dempsey have done more recently?

    R.S. Sugirtharajah, Voices from the Margin, 3d ed (Orbis, 2006).

    Also collected works by Musa Dube and Kwok Pui-Lan often include small exegetical essays focused on particular pericopes.
