Description

Explore the historical tension between early Christian belief and Roman power in this scholarly study by James R. Harrison. This volume examines the direct collision between Paul's eschatological gospel and the Julio-Claudian conception of rule. As the imperial house claimed an eternal rule over its subjects through propaganda and power, Paul's proclamation of the reign of the risen Son of God offered a conflicting worldview. This academic work provides an in-depth examination of 1 and 2 Thessalonians and Romans to show how Paul's theology intersected with the imperial cult in both the Greek East and the Latin West. By analyzing a wide selection of literary, documentary, and numismatic evidence, the text clarifies how these early Christian communities navigated their identity amidst the religious and political demands of the Roman Empire. This is an essential resource for those studying New Testament history, the development of early Christian ideology, and the relationship between the early church and the state.
