Acts of Empire, Second Edition

Více o knize

Focusing on the intersection of ideology, gender, class, and imperial discourse, the book analyzes the Acts of the Apostles as a reflection of its cultural context. Through five chapters, Christina Petterson argues that Christianity is deeply intertwined with themes of exploitation and discrimination, challenging the notion of it existing outside these societal hierarchies. The work emphasizes the importance of understanding the New Testament within its broader cultural and political frameworks.
