Paperback. Condizione: Good. Two major assumptions underlie most current interpretations of Acts. The first is that, in Acts, Luke is asking for acceptance of the Church by the Roman authorities. The second is that the theological aim of Luke's narrative is to demonstrate the passing of God's revelation from Judaism to the Church. This book turns these assumptions on their heels. By focusing on Paul as Luke presents him - as witness and accused - Luke's objective of dramatizing the movement of the Gospel from a religous to a secular sphere emerges. The Gospel is to be spread "to the ends of the world". Through Paul, Luke assists the early Christian community in persevering through present trials and in focusing on a global, missionary future. Paul never abandons his Jewishness, nor does he look to Rome for guidance. He merely serves as a witness to the inevitable emergence of Christianity onto the secular scene. The members of the Church, like Paul, may suffer accusation, trial and imprisonment, but the Gospel message, the unstoppable message of ressurection, will continue to spread.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. 2023 Catholic Media Association Second Place Award, Scripture - Academic Studies Reading 1 Peter through the lens of feminist and diaspora studies keeps front and center the bodily, psychological, and social suffering experienced by those without stable support of family or homeland, whether they were economic migrants or descendants of those enslaved by Roman armies. In the new "household" of God, believers are encouraged to exhibit a moral superiority to the society that engulfs them. But adoption of "elite" values cannot erase the undertones of randomized verbal abuse, general scorn, and physical violence that women, immigrants, slaves, and freedmen faced as the "facts of life."  First Peter offers the "honor" of identifying with the Crucified, "by his bruises you are healed" (2:24).  A Christian liberation ethic would challenge 1 Peter's approach. Pliny the Younger, governor of Bithynia-Pontus in north-western Asia Minor, is a contemporary of 2 Peter's writer. The polemical, accusatory genre of 2 Peter, like Jude, originates in Roman judicial rhetoric. The pastor, in the persona of a prosecuting attorney, condemns immoral defendants, including influential women. Their "crimes" encode community tensions over women's leadership, Gentile-members' sexual ethics, their syncretistic deviations from Jewish doctrine on creation, and the certainty of divine judgment and punishment. Citations to Elizabeth Cady Stanton's A Woman's Bible enliven the commentary. The doctrinal disorder prompts the male pastor to sustain loyalists in their commitment to "Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Second Peter dramatizes an ecclesial crisis whose "solution" was the eventual imposition of a magisterium to silence dissent. Brief, combative, and assuming a familiarity with a literary culture that most twenty-first-century readers do not have, the Letter of Jude would be an obvious candidate for being the most neglected book of the New Testament. As a model for a pastoral strategy, it can be recommended only with great reservations: almost everyone will find in it something problematic, if not offensive. Yet, in addition to giving a window on a Greek-speaking Jewish-Christian milieu, Jude's energetic prose testifies to the author's visceral concern for those attempting to live by the gospel in difficult circumstances. Furthermore, to the extent that over familiarity with parts of the New Testament can blunt their challenge, this letter provides a salutary reminder that the entire canon originated in a world that is radically unfamiliar to us.…
