Mark G. Brett the explores the complexities that have emerged in the interactions between biblical interpretation and colonial theories of Indigenous natural rights. This wide-ranging study shows how the legacies of these interactions still shape the laws of property and our understanding of Indigenous rights and responsibilities today.

Political theology is critical reflection on the intersections of religious, political and economic life, and in the Hebrew Bible it emerges in a broad range of topics - sovereignty, leadership, law, peoplehood, hospitality, redemption, creation and hope. The classic biblical literature has shaped the social imaginations of many peoples from ancient Canaan to global Christianity today, so this study also gives attention to key developments in the history of theBible's reception. Understanding the inner-biblical debates and their later interpretations will continue to be relevant for those who still live within the Bible's history of influence.
