In Memory Of Her by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza
A Feminist Theological Reconstruction of Christian Origins
A landmark feminist reinterpretation of Christian origins that reconstructs women’s leadership in the Jesus movement and early house churches, contending that patriarchal redaction and androcentric scholarship erased much of their presence. Using historical-critical, sociological, and rhetorical methods under a “hermeneutics of remembrance,” it rereads New Testament texts to uncover communities of equals and highlight women apostles, prophets, and deacons. It concludes by proposing an emancipatory practice of biblical interpretation for contemporary faith communities.
