Quotes by Cynthia Long Westfall (?)

“He rejects leadership that is based on Greco-Roman concepts of wisdom, power, and status (1 Cor. 1:18–31). His teachings are the polar opposite of Plato’s argument that the weak should be ruled by the strong, the ignoble by the noble, and the ignorant by the wise. When Paul rejects the status markers of his heritage, privileges, and attainments in Judaism, he rejects the biological essentialism and the social pyramid of the Greco-Roman system as well (Phil. 3:1–11). He therefore rejects all the values on which status and authority in the culture were based.”

“Acceptable religion before Yahweh cannot be divorced from justice. In fact, God desires his people to exhibit the virtue of justice, and their religious life should cultivate that. In the future, beyond judgment, God will establish justice in all the earth, and this hope should be a prime motivator to pursue justice.”

“We are desperately in need of a coherent biblical theology and worldview that engage a heavily sexualized culture in this key area. It should be not only about sexual ethics, but also about dealing with crucial related issues that Paul highlighted: sexual immorality, anger, and perceptions of the body and beauty. These continue to be central issues that should be addressed carefully and are among the foremost priorities of the Western Christian community.”
