"Gospel and Empire "
The lives of Jesus and the early Christians were thoroughly shaped by their experience as people in a world dominated by the Roman empire. This session will examine select portions of Paul's letter to the Romans, Luke-Acts, and Revelation to reflect on the variety of ways early Christian theologians worked out an understanding of Christian faith and practice in the face of this political dominance.
