Acts of Empire, Second Edition

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of New Testament studies and cultural theory, this book analyzes the Acts of the Apostles through the lens of imperial discourse. Christina Petterson examines themes such as ideology, gender, class, and empire across five chapters, arguing that Christianity is inherently linked to discourses of exploitation and discrimination. The work challenges readers to consider how these hierarchies shape the understanding of early Christian texts and their societal implications.
