Christian Origins and Greco-Roman Culture
Book (italiano):
This is the first of three volumes collectively titled Early Christianity in its Hellenistic Context. The three volumes will appear in two different series: v.1 and v.2 in TENTS (Texts and Editions for New Testament Study); and v.3, because of its focus on language, in LBS (Linguistic Biblical Studies). Editors Porter and Pitts are both affiliated with McMaster Divinity College, Canada. Twenty-five contributions are arranged in sections on Greco-Roman social contexts for Christian origins, and Greco-Roman literary contexts for Christian origins. Authors were invited to fully develop their topics, and many of the articles are 30 pages are more. A sampling of topics: manuscripts, scribes, and book production; reconstructing early Christianity from papyrological evidence; space, movement, and morality in the Roman Empire; Luke as a Hellenistic historian; letter openings in Paul and Plato; and exegetical practices in Justin and Galen. Indexing is by modern authors and by ancient sources. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
