This book combines New Testament studies and cultural theory, and analyzes Acts of the Apostles as a product of imperial discourse. In five chapters, Christina Petterson engages Acts with ideology, gender, class, and empire with different emphases. All of these analyses argue that Christianity can never be set outside discourses of exploitation, discrimination, and hierarchies, but must always be set within them.

This book is at once the advancement of an argument on the relation between Acts and Empire, as well as an exploration of the role of biblical texts in the production of Western thinking. Through the work of critical theorists such as Michel Foucault, Christina von Braun, Theodor Adorno, and Max Horkheimer, Christine Petterson discusses writing and self, mastery and gender, class, ideology, grammar, and abstraction. These discussions all serve to analyse the New Testament as a product of empire. The implications of such a shift are significant for our approaches to the texts and what we perceive as theological challenges, because Christianity can never be set outside discourses of exploitation, and hierarchies, but must always be set within them.

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.

Excerpt from The Unseen Empire: A Peace Play in Four Acts This play, "The Unseen Empire," of Atherton Brownell, is a study of the influences comprised in the war system of Europe, and of the way in which gigantic forces assembled in the name of peace actually make for war. It explains how the robber barons of a later time wring from the laboring people as cost for defense the same blood-money the robber barons of three or four centuries ago exacted as ransom or tribute. The weapons of this exaction are still suspicion and fear, the war-scare and the spasm of miscalled patriotism. In the name of "Armed Peace," by playing on the vague idealism and the chivalry of common folk, they secure a toll as unscrupulous as any in the Middle Ages and far greater in actual amount. This play shows how the war system really stands for war. It suggests the actual nature of war, and it gives a valuable hint as to how the nation that really wants peace can dictate peace and insure it.

Joshua Noble focuses on the rapid appearance and disappearance in Acts 2 and 4 of the motif that early believers hold all their property in common, and argues that these descriptions function as allusions to the Golden Age myth. Noble suggests Luke's claims that the believers “had all things in common” and that “no one claimed private ownership of any possessions”-a motif that does not appear in any biblical source- rather calls to mind Greek and Roman traditions that the earliest humans lived in utopian conditions, when “no one ... possessed any private property, but all things were common.” By analyzing sources from Greek, Latin, Jewish, and Christian traditions, and reading Acts 2:42-47 and 4:32-35 as Golden Age allusions, Noble illustrates how Luke's use of the motif of common property is significant for understanding his attitude toward the Roman Empire. Noble suggests that Luke's appeal to this myth accomplishes two things: it characterizes the coming of the Spirit as marking the beginning of a new age, the start of a “universal restoration” that will find its completion at the Second Coming of Christ; and it creates a contrast between Christ, who has actually brought about this restoration, and the emperors of Rome, who were serially credited with inaugurating a new Golden Age.
