| Summary: | The work of Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza (ESF) has been celebrated as a significant and ground-breaking contribution to the fields of biblical and religious studies. Her emancipatory paradigm has been used to situate scholarship of biblical studies as an ally of liberationist religion, and conceive of early Christian texts as sites of struggle, the interpretation of which indicates more about the individual interpreter's ethical-political posture than a particular "truth" inhering in the text itself. The overall project overlaps in many ways with the work of Michel Foucault, yet comes short of critically engaging his theories. This article demonstrates areas of confluence between these two theorists, and raises the question of how ESF's project would be altered if Foucault were more directly addressed. The article argues that the alterations would be significant. |
