Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza quotes:

Intellectual neutrality is not possible in a historical world of exploitation and oppression.

Resurrection does not simply spell the survival of the soul but requires the transformation of the world as we know it.

all theology knowingly or not is by definition always engaged for or against the oppressed.

The Christian marginality of women has its roots in the patriarchal beginnings of the church and in the androcentrism of Christian revelation.

Our understanding of early Christian beginnings is usually monolithic. It is much determined by the Acts of the Apostles, which pictures a straightforward development from the primitive community in Jerusalem founded on Pentecost to the world-wide mission of Paul climaxing with his arrival in Rome, the political centre of the Greco-Roman world. The Pauline epistles are understood not so much as historical sources reflecting a much more multifaceted early Christian situation fraught with tensions but as theological treatises expounding and defending the doctrine of justification by faith.

Not only is history written by the winners, it is also made by them.
