I sat down with Jione Havea to discuss his new book, Losing Ground. We discuss the book of Ruth, reading it amidst climate catastrophe, how Jione built this book through talanoa and bible studies with Pasifika people across Australia, Aotearoa, and the Pacific, opening up academic biblical studies, and how this book "seeks to make any notions of white supremacy absurd."
Rev Dr Jione Havea is a native pastor (Methodist Church in Tonga) and research fellow with Trinity Methodist Theological College (Aotearoa) and the Public and Contextual Theology research centre (Charles Sturt University).
Jione’s work focuses on the intersections of cultures (with sympathies to the oral cultures of Pasifika), scriptures (trans-reading biblical texts and native wisdom), critical theories (accounting for bounded bodies, colonized minds, stolen lands, and othered planetary life and spirit forms) and religions (searching for solidarity, resistance, and protest).
