Beckford, R. (2007). Jesus Dub.Washington, DC: Taylor & Francis. 

To dub is to deconstruct . DEconstruction is a transformative process involving dismantling and reconstructing. Deconstructive activity involves taking things apart. HOwever, rather than ending up with nothing, deconstruction seeks to rebuild. Rebuilding is guided by an emancipation ethic, which seeks out redemptive themes in history, culture ansd society that can be the focus for transforming teh original thesis. pp91

When Jesus Dubs, those on the margins are enabled to rear down the walls that exclude and rebuild and refashion things so that all people are free from the ravages of oppression. pp80

Heteroglossia - express the capcity to speak from one's location into a multiplicty of discourses.

Heteroglossia as tongues dub requires churches to engage in dialogue with th esocial world in order to bring the liberating power of teh spirit into the total life setting. Heteroglossia also provides a new way of describing the workings of spiritual gifts. Within this schema charismatic gifts are not confined to the worshipping community, but also directed outwards so that spiritual gifting is expressed to practical christian service and within the political quest to fight injustice abd protect the vulnerable. 128
