Description: John and Empire by Warren Carter, Prof. Warren Carter Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Explores "Johns Gospel" as a work of imperial negotiation in the context of Ephesus and argues that imperial negotiation was a contested issue for late first-century Jesus-believers. This book contains chapters that identify the strategies of imperial negotiation in the discussions of the gospels genre, plot, and Christological titles. Publisher Description In this significant and innovative contribution, Warren Carter explores Johns Gospel as a work of imperial negotiation in the context of Ephesus, capital of the Roman province of Asia. Carter employs multiple methods, rejects sectarian scenarios, and builds on other Christian writings and recent studies of diaspora synagogues that combined participationist lifestyles with observance of distinctive practices to argue that imperial negotiation was a contested issue for late first-century Jesus-believers. While a number of Jesus-believers probably lived societally-accommodated lives, Johns Gospel employs a "rhetoric of distance" to urge much less accommodation and to create an alternative "anti-society" for followers of Jesus crucified by the empire but vindicated by God. In addition to establishing this tense historical setting, chapters identify various arenas and strategies of imperial negotiation in wide-ranging discussions of the gospels genre, plot, Christological titles, developing traditions, eternal life, the image of God as father, ecclesiology, Jesus conflict with Pilate, and resurrection and ascension. Carter has explored interactions between the emerging Christian movement and the Roman Empire in various articles and book-length studies such as Matthew and the Margins (Orbis), Matthew and Empire (Trinity Press International/Continuum), Pontius Pilate: Portraits of a Roman Governor (Liturgical), and The Roman Empire and the New Testament (Abingdon).
