"Perhaps Jesus had hesitations in his own mind about crossing the boundaries he was crossing, worrying, as we do at times, if all hell will break loose if we break with certain long-held practices and policies. "

"Was the Syrophoenician woman a person of low position seeking sustenance or an urban member of the ruling class seeking advantage? Our reading will be informed by our own situation. In our approach to Jesus, we can be the Syrophoenician woman as we risk solidarity and difference."

Glancy, Jennifer A., "Jesus, the Syrophoenician Woman, and Other First Century Bodies," Biblical Interpretation, 2010.

"Social identity is embodied identity. Therefore, in order to come to terms with cultural complexity, we must come to terms with the implications of embodiment. Attention to corporal performance of social identity is critical to the project of intersectional theory."
