New Testament Texts and the Roman World

New Testament Texts and the Roman World encapsulates the rich teaching and ministry career of Dr. Gerald Stevens. This Festschrift serves to celebrate this career and Stevens's contributions to the academic guild. The essays in this work resonate with the interests of Stevens--studies in the text of Acts, in Pauline texts, and in John's Apocalypse. Contributors present studies using intertextuality, social-scientific approaches, theological approaches, literary studies in Roman, Jewish, and mythological texts, and consideration of the cultural and historical settings of the texts.
