World Upside Down
Reading Acts in the Graeco-Roman Age
No longer can Acts be seen as a simple apologia that articulates Christianity's harmlessness vis-¿is Rome. Rather, in its attempt to form communities that witness to God's apocalypse, author Kavin Rowe argues that Luke's second volume is a highly charged and theologically sophisticated political document. Luke aims at nothing less than the construction of a new culture - a total pattern of life - that inherently runs counter to the constitutive aspects ofGraeco-Roman society.
