The author examines the social and political meaning of divine sonship in the Roman Empire. He analyzes the conceptual framework within which the term ''son of God'' has traditionally been considered in biblical scholarship. Then, through engagement with recent scholarship in Roman history, he offers new ways of interpreting the Christian theological metaphors of ''begotten''and ''adoptive'' sonship. He focuses on social practices and political ideology, revealing that scholarship on divine sonship has been especially hampered by mistaken assumptions about adopted sons.

This landmark handbook, written by distinguished Pauline scholars, and first published in 2003, remains the first and only work to offer lucid and insightful examinations of Paul and his world in such depth. Together the two volumes that constitute the handbook in its much revised form provide a comprehensive reference resource for new testament scholars looking to understand the classical world in which Paul lived and work. Each chapter provides an overview of a particular social convention, literary of rhetorical topos, social practice, or cultural mores of the world in which Paul and his audiences were at home. In addition, the sections use carefully chosen examples to demonstrate how particularly features of Greco-Roman culture shed light on Paul's letters and on his readers' possible perception of them. For the new edition all the contributions have been fully revised to take into account the last ten years of methodological change and the helpful chapter bibliographies fully updated. Wholly new chapters cover such issues as Paul and Memory, Paul's Economics, honor and shame in Paul's writings and the Greek novel.

This dissertation assesses the nature of cultural exchange on the Rhine frontier of the Roman Empire. During the first three centuries AD, this region was flooded with outside influences from across Rome's vast territorial holdings as it became a focal point for developing military and civilian installations. I have selected four material sources, organized by chapter, which function concurrently as both self-contained case studies and a unified compendium of cultural developments in this frontier zone. My aim has been to draw upon artifacts that are numerous, elaborately detailed, and more or less "settled" in terms of academic debate so that I might offer a fresh perspective on familiar evidence. These case studies highlight idiosyncratic variations in conception and execution within each body of evidence, which cannot be dismissed as trivial divergences from prepackaged patterns of display or ritual practice, and which hold more interpretive value that previously thought. Given that the Roman state assumed a primarily laissez-faire attitude toward the social mores of those under its authority, it is not surprising that a uniform model of cultural development remains elusive. In order to evade the hazards of ideological oversimplification attendant on grand narratives, while also retaining a firm, evidence-based methodology, I argue that it is necessary to embrace the inherently unpredictable, non-linear, and multi-directional developmental nature of culture. In an ideologically open, interconnected environment like the Roman Empire, with no centralized arbiter dictating acceptable cultural values, individuals and self-organizing groups were the primary agents empowered with assigning meaning to beliefs, practices, and identities as they saw fit in the process of creating artifacts emblematic of the vibrant cultural dialogue transpiring. This approach effectively resolves the paradox of local heterogeneity and global uniformity by positing that unity and diversity converge at the level of the individual, whose atomized contributions to our understanding of culture have much yet to tell us. It is my hope that the conclusions of this study might be weighed against evidence from elsewhere in the Empire, thereby furthering efforts to both broaden the scope and refine our understanding of cultural exchange in the Roman world.

It can be difficult to hear the voices of Roman children, women and slaves, given that most surviving texts of the period are by elite adult men. This volume redresses the balance. An international collection of expert contributors go beyond the usual canon of literary texts, and assess a vast range of evidence - inscriptions, burial data, domestic architecture, sculpture and the law, as well as Christian and dream-interpretation literature. Topics covered include: * child exposure and abandonment * children in imperial propaganda * reconstructing lower-class families * gender, burial and status * epitaphs and funerary monuments * adoption and late parenthood. The result is an up-to-date survey of some of the most exciting avenues currently being explored in Roman social history.
