One Lord, One People: The Unity of the Church in Acts in its Literary Setting: The Library of New Testament Studies

Autor Alan Thompson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2008
This book examines the Lukan themes of unity and disunity against ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish social and political discourses on concord and discord.The themes of unity and disunity are particularly prominent in ancient discussions of the reigns of rulers, evaluations of laws/constitutions/forms of government, and descriptions of the contrasting effects of unity and disunity in the destruction and preservation of peoples and cities. These themes are grouped under the broad categories of kingship and law, and the preservation and destruction of cities. The book contends that, in the context of its literary setting, the theme of the unity of the church under one Lord in Acts contributes to Lukan Christological claims that Christ is the true king, and Lukan ecclesiological claims that the Christian community is the true people of God.

Recenzii

'based on careful research into much background material that has not been examined previously from this particular perspective [...] a piece of painstaking original research' Methodist Recorder, March 2009
"This is a scholarly work... which adds a welcome piece to the jigsaw of evidence for the New Testament's engagement with imperial claims and first-century political theory." Reviewed in Church Times, September 2009.
'Thompson's book is a significant contribution to Acts scholarship on the relatively neglected themes of unity and disunity, and it should take an essential place in the growing literature that re-examines the relationship between Acts and empire.'
'A good contribution to the conversations about Acts.'
