Description

Ephesians is a "mystery" text that seeks to make known the multifarious Wisdom of G*d. At its heart is the question of power. In this commentary, Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza examines the political understandings of ekklesia and household in Ephesians as well as the roles that such understandings have played in the formation of early Christian communities and that still shape such communities today. By paying close attention to the function of androcentric biblical language within Ephesians, Schüssler Fiorenza engages in a critical feminist emancipatory approach to biblical interpretation that calls for conscientization and change, that is, for the sake of wo/men's salvation or wellbeing.

Praise

"This yields a fascinating reading of the letter, one quite different from what one finds in the standard handbooks and introductions."

Journal for the Study of the New Testament

"This book presents an excellent study of Ephesians with a strong feminist perspective. It is part of the Wisdom Commentary series which should be included in every theology school and parish libraries."

Catholic Press Association award, first place

"Well written and accessible. I highly recommend it for seminary and divinity school students and scholars of religion."

Interpretation

"Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza provides a profound understanding of Ephesians centered on an analysis of power. Readers of this commentary will preach new messages when Ephesians appears in the lectionary!"
