Description
"Anti-imperial" readings of ancient texts are popular, but are they
right? What does it mean to engage in "political" interpretation of
ancient texts? What can Biblical scholars learn from Classicists about
the emperor cult? These are a few of the questions addressed in this
volume. Highlighting the work of scholars in Eastern and Western Europe,
it offers fresh perspectives on "political" aspects of early Jewish and
Christian texts. Contributions include exegetical studies with literary
and historical interests, as well as critical hermeneutical reflection.
Essays analyze texts from the Hebrew Bible, Septuagint, and New
Testament, plus Josephus and extra-canonical Christian literature.
