Representatives of Roman Rule: Roman Provincial Governors in Luke-Acts
Biographical note: Joshua Yoder, Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt.
| Résumé: | Biographical note: Joshua Yoder, Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt. This book examines Luke’s depiction of the Roman provincial governors in his narrative, interpreted in terms of his Greco-Roman literary context. Luke’s portrait of these Roman authority figures is relatively critical, and demonstrates his preoccupation with Rome’s judgment of the Christians more than a desire to commend Roman rule. |
