World Upside Down: Reading Acts in the Graeco-Roman Age
Rowe, C. Kavin (Assistant Professor of New Testament, Assistant Professor of New Testament, Duke University Divinity School)
No longer can Acts be seen as a simple apologia that articulates Christianity's harmlessness vis-a-vis 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.
