{"product_id":"luke-acts-and-empire-david-rhoads-9781608990986","title":"Luke-Acts and Empire: Essays in Honor of Robert L. Brawley","description":"In recent years, scholars have explored anew the interface between the early Christian movements and the Roman Empire. Once thought to be quietistic, the early Christian movements turn out to have been critical of the Empire and significantly counterimperial. This collection of essays in honor of Robert Brawley turns the spotlight on Luke-Acts. The soundings taken here disclose deeper anti-imperial rhetoric than previously thought. In brazen and subtle ways, Luke-Acts displays an alternative realm of peace and justice inaugurated by Jesus under the God of Israel. The essays in this volume will lead you to hear Luke-Acts in fresh ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Rhoads\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608990982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608990986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pickwick Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\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 0.50d","brand":"David Rhoads","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445422698751,"sku":"9781608990986","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19671ca8-a761-4671-8ce7-426494698800.jpg?v=1777218490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/luke-acts-and-empire-david-rhoads-9781608990986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
