Reading Acts through the Lens of Ancient Colonization

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

How is Acts of the Apostles - its form and features - to be understood in light of the work's ancient Mediterranean cultural context? In the present study, Eric C. Moore offers a fresh response to this much-debated question, arguing for the utility of ancient colonization as an analytic lens for reading Acts, a story about the origins and replication of early Christianity. He explores how in narrating his account, Luke draws on a common stock of 'foundation' motifs employed by ancient sources, textual and material alike, to glorify community beginnings. Born 1976; MDiv from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Biblical Studies); ThM from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (Biblical Studies); PhD in New Testament from Emory University; currently Adjunct Professor of New Testament at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, and Interdenominational Theological Center.
