When she published "In Memory of Her: A Feminist Theological
Reconstruction of Christian Origins" in 1983, Elisabeth Schussler
Fiorenza revolutionized the world of New Testament studies. She
offered in that book a method for interpreting early Christian
history that recovers the role of women in pre-Pauline Christian
communities. She then painted a portrait of the early Christian
ekklesia of women as a point of departure for a feminist biblical
spirituality. Later works engaged subjects such as hermeneutics,
the book of Revelation, and rhetoric and ethics.
The book begins with a visit to the long-neglected site of ancient
Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Unexcavated and
slipping into the sea, Migdal stands as a reminder of the lost
history of Mary Magdalene, and of ancient women. From Migdal, the
reader moves back in history, looking through Mary's legends to her
fame and notoriety. Mary's medieval and modern legends are
contrasted sharply with her depiction in the Gnostic and apocryphal
materials of Tomas and Philip. The scrolls of Nag Hammadi are
discussed, and Mary's role as visionary and leader are looked at -
all giving a portrait of Mary's prominence in the early centuries
of Christianity. Mary's story is part of an overall egalitarian and
mystical movement that interpreted the absence of Jesus' body as a
powerful and prophetic sign of God's vindication of the world's
suffering. The conclusion takes us back to the contemporary world.
A reconstruction of Mary Magdalene and a Magdalene Christianity
might be a source for social transformation. An epilogue,
completely new to this book, looks at the phenomenon of "The Da
Vinci Code".
In the face of globalized ecological and economic crises, how do
religion, the postsecular, and political theology reconfigure
political theory and practice? As the planet warms and the chasm
widens between the 1 percent and the global 99, what thinking may
yet energize new alliances between religious and irreligious
constituencies? This book brings together political theorists,
philosophers, theologians, and scholars of religion to open
discursive and material spaces in which to shape a vibrant
planetary commons. Attentive to the universalizing tendencies of
"the common," the contributors seek to reappropriate the term in
response to the corporate logic that asserts itself as a universal
solvent. In the resulting conversation, the common returns as an
interlinked manifold, under the ethos of its multitudes and the
ecology of its multiplicity. Beginning from what William Connolly
calls the palpable "fragility of things," Common Goods assembles a
transdisciplinary political theology of the Earth. With a nuance
missing from both atheist and orthodox religious approaches, the
contributors engage in a multivocal conversation about sovereignty,
capital, ecology, and civil society. The result is an unprecedented
thematic assemblage of cosmopolitics and religious diversity; of
utopian space and the time of insurrection; of Christian socialism,
radical democracy, and disability theory; of quantum entanglement
and planetarity; of theology fleshly and political.

Was Jesus a wisdom sage or an apocalyptic prophet? Did later
followers view him as the Danielic "Son of Man" or did he use this
expression for himself? These are familiar questions among
historical Jesus scholars, and there has been much debate over
Jesus' eschatological outlook since the controversial work of the
Jesus Seminar. This book asks what is at stake in these debates and
explores how scholarly constructions of Christian origins
participate in contemporary efforts to confirm or challenge
particular understandings of the essence of Christianity. Proposing
that a Jesus-centered perspective has overly shaped our
interpretation of the sayings source Q, Johnson-DeBaufre offers
alternative readings to key Q texts, readings that place an
interest in the community that shaped Jesus at the center of
inquiry.
