This volume brings together his best work and introduces a substantial new essay that challenges current scholarly approaches to paradoxical teachings of the New Testament. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf special interest to Oakes throughout this book is the concrete impact of economic realities and Roman imperialism on first-century Christian communities meeting in house churches. To address this, Oakes considers an array of textual and archaeological resources from first-century non-elite life, including extensive archaeological evidence available from Pompeii. Readers will find here a deep trove of wisdom for understanding the New Testament in the context of the Greco-Roman world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Oakes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802885314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802885319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
