"Mirrored Reflections is a ground-breaking and paradigmatic book for Christian theology in general and evangelical biblical hermeneutics in particular. It opens up space for Asian American women's readings of the Bible without mimicking other feminist agendas; it embraces reader-response approaches while honoring the scriptural horizon; it boldly explores a countercultural contextualism, polyphonous multivocalism, and intersubjective perspectivism without lapsing into relativism; and it insists on the need for us to come to terms with pluralism, globalization, and transnationalism in the pursuit of faithful Christian discipleship in our time. Simply put, this is biblical interpretation and theological reflection at its best: engaging, subversive, transformative, and salvific—for women and men. Evangelical Bible reading will never be the same!" —Amos Yong, J. Rodman Williams Professor of Theology, Regent University School of Divinity, Virginia Beach, Virginia

"Mirrored Reflections is a unique and engaging work. Like Ernesto Cardenal's class trilogy The Gospel in Solentiname, it presents innovative engagements of persons with the transformative power of biblical narratives. In it eight Asian American women deftly intertwine their personal stories of struggle to authenticity and liberation with those of selected biblical women. The authors' reward will be if you, the reader, are stimulated to find biblical parallels to your own journey toward self-fulfillment." —Norm Thomas, Professor Emeritus of World Christianity, United Theological Seminary
