{"product_id":"jesus-as-mediator-malcolm-gill-9783039118298","title":"Jesus as Mediator: Politics and Polemic in 1 Timothy 2:1-7","description":"This book addresses the influence of the imperial cult in first-century AD Asia Minor and its subsequent relevance to the reading of the New Testament. In particular, this work argues, through a contrapuntal reading of 1 Timothy 2:1-7, that the early Christian community strongly resisted the Emperor's claim to be the mediator between the gods and humanity. In contrast to this claim, the author shows that 1 Timothy 2:1-7 can be read as a polemic from a minority community, the Christian church in Ephesus, against the powerful voice of the Roman Empire in regard to divine mediation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Gill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039118293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039118298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Malcolm Gill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48996276666623,"sku":"9783039118298","price":74.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-as-mediator-malcolm-gill-9783039118298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
