Lance Byron Richey - Roman Imperial Ideology and t he Gospel of John (2007).jpg

This book was originally the author’s dissertation directed by Dr. Julian Hills at Marquette University and completed in 2004. The introduction suggests the work’s thesis, that John’s Gospel is “a conscious effort on the part of John to address issues which would unavoidably have been raised for his community by the Roman Imperial Ideology, or, as it is more commonly called, Augustan Ideology” (xii). This “complex and considerably varied set of beliefs, practices and claims about the nature and source of temporal power in imperial Rome … presented the emperor or princeps as the central figure of the empire on whom [its] continued peace and prosperity … depended” (xiv). The pervasiveness of this ideology, more than the demands of the imperial cult, meant a “pressing need to distinguish the nature and role of the emperor within Roman society from that of Christ within the Johannine community” (xvi). The Gospel, at least in its final redaction, challenges the “fundamental way of conceiving the world” that imperial ideology offered (xix).

Chapter 1 (“Neither Jew nor Roman: Reconstructing the History of the Johannine Community,”) largely rehearses previous work on John that has emphasized the Gospel’s multilayered nature and has sought to reconstruct the history of the Johannine community (so Martyn and Brown). This history conventionally involves a developing Christology, separation from a synagogue precipitated by the Birkat Haminim, persecution and martyrdom, Gentile influx, further christological development, schism, and alienation. From this survey, Richey identifies three key features: Asia Minor as the Gospel’s location; increasing Gentile presence within the community; and persistence of Jewish hostility.

Chapter 2 (“Confronting the Many Faces of Power: Augustan Ideology and Johannine Christology”) reconstructs Augustan Ideology with its focus on “the person of the emperor at the center of the new order” (27). Richey highlights three dimensions: (Augustus’s supreme position and structures for maintaining his [and his successors’] power [auctoritas]; the imperial cult; the role of poets such as Virgil) that resulted not only in establishing the emperor’s position but in creating a worldview that located the empire’s inhabitants in relation to the emperor and the cosmos. This ideology threatened the Johannine community, who did not participate in it, faced persecution for not doing so, and could not claim the Jewish “legal exemption” from it because of excommunication from the synagogue.

Adam Winn - The Purpose of Mark's Gospel, An Early Christian Response to Roman Imperial Propaganda ( 2008).jpg

In this book, Adam Winn addresses the long-debated question of the purpose of Mark’s Gospel. After placing the composition of Mark in Rome at a time shortly after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, he seeks to reconstruct the historical situation facing both the Markan evangelist and his community. This reconstruction focuses on the rise of the new Roman Emperor Vespasian and the aftermath of the Jewish Revolt in Rome. A significant feature of this reconstruction is the propaganda used to gain and secure Vespasian’s power-propaganda that included oracles and portents, divine healings, and grand triumphs. Of particular interest is the propagandistic claim that Vespasian was the true fulfillment of Jewish messianic prophecies. Winn argues that such a claim would have created a Christological crisis for the fledgling church in Rome-a crisis that called for a compelling Christian response. Winn seeks to demonstrate that Mark’s Gospel could be read as just such a response. He demonstrates how the major features of Mark’s Gospel--his incipit, Christology, teaching on discipleship, and eschatology--can be read as a counter résumé to the impressive résumé of Vespasian. In the end, this project concludes that Mark was composed for the purpose of countering Roman imperial propaganda that had created a crisis for its author and community.

A. D. Lee - Information and Frontiers, Roman Forei gn Relations in Late Antiquity (1993).jpg

During late antiquity the Roman empire faced serious threats from the peoples to the east and to the north. This book is concerned with the role played by information and intelligence in the empire's relations with these peoples, how well-informed about them the empire was, and how such information was acquired. It deals with an important facet of late Roman history which has not previously received systematic treatment, and does so in a wide-ranging manner which relates the military/diplomatic history to its broader social/cultural and economic context.

S. R. F. Price - Rituals and Power, The Roman Impe rial Cult in Asia Minor (1984).jpg

In his study of the Greek cults of the Roman emperor in Asia minor, Simon Price attempts to discover why the Roman Emperor was treated like a god. He contends that ever since the emergence of Christianity within the Roman Empire the problem has been misinterpreted; a Christianizing distinction between religion and politics has led to the cult being considered simply as a form of political honors. Drawing on anthropology as well as numismatics and archaeology, literary sources and inscriptions, Dr Price offers a fundamentally different perspective. He examines how the Greek cults of the Roman Emperor located the Emperor with their subjection to the external power of Rome. The book falls into two major parts. The first analyzes the historical, social and cultural contexts of the Imperial cult, showing that the cult was deeply rooted in the Greek cities. The second focuses on the evocations of the rituals of temples, images and sacrifices. It casts light on the architectural development of Greek Cities, on cult statues in the ancient world and on the vitality and flexibility of the Greek religious system. In his concluding chapter the author draws out some of the general implications of the book; comparative material from Africa and Cambodia help our understanding of the relationship between religious ritual and political power. This book, which assumes no knowledge of Latin or Greek, will appeal to students and teachers of ancient history and archaeology. It will also attract anthropologists, historians and others interested in the interpretation of rituals and in the history of early Christianity.

Edward Adams - Christianity at Corinth (2004).jpg

First Corinthians provides a unique glimpse info the life of a young Christian community in a Gracco-Roman environment during the early decades of emerging Christianity. It supplies a range and richness of information about the early church that is unparalleled by any other New Testament document. Much effort has gone into reconstructing Christianity at Corinth; more recently, attention has focused on the Corinthian community itself. The scholarly picture of the Corinthian Christians throughout the period of modern interpretation has been far from constant, and their profile has altered as interpretive fashions have shifted. This collection of classic and new essays charts the history of the scholarly quest for the Corinthian church from F.C. Baur to the present day, and offers the reflections of leading scholars on where the quest has taken us and on its future direction. Includes essays by Walter Schmithals, C.K. Barrett, Nils A. Dahl, Gerd Theissen, Richard A. Horsley, Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, James D.G. Dunn, and many more.

D. C.A. Hillman Ph.D. - The Chemical Muse, Drug Us e and the Roots of Western Civilization (2008).jpg

The Chemical Muse uncovers decades of misdirection and obfuscation to reveal the history of widespread drug use in Ancient Rome and Greece. In the city-states that gave birth to Western civilization, drugs were an everyday element of a free society. Often they were not just available, but vitally necessary for use in medicine, religious ceremonies, and war campaigns. Their proponents and users existed in all classes, from the common soldier to the emperor himself.
Citing examples in myths, medicine, and literature, D. C. A. Hillman shows how drugs have influenced and inspired the artists, philosophers, and even politicians whose ideas have formed the basis for civilization as we know it. Many of these ancient texts may seem well-known, but Hillman shows how timid, prudish translations have left scholars and readers in the dark about the reality of drug use in the Classical world.
Hillman’s argument is not simply “pro-drug.” Instead, he appeals for an intellectual honesty that acknowledges the use of drugs in ancient societies despite today’s conflicting social mores. In the modern world, where academia and university life are often politically charged, The Chemical Muse offers a unique and long overdue perspective on the contentious topic of drug use and the freedom of thought.
D. C. A. Hillman earned an M.S. in bacteriology and an M.A. and Ph.D in classics from the University of Wisconsin. His research has been published in the academic journal Pharmacy in History. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with his wife and children.

Rome - Jrme Carcopino - Daily Life in Ancient Rome, The People and the City at the Height of the Empire 2003.jpg

This classic book brings to life imperial Rome as it was during the second century A.D., the time of Trajan and Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, and Commodus. It was a period marked by lavish displays of wealth, a dazzling cultural mix, and the advent of Christianity. The splendor and squalor of the city, the spectacles, and the day's routines are reconstructed from an immense fund of archaeological evidence and from vivid descriptions by ancient poets, satirists, letter-writers, and novelists-from Petronius to Pliny the Younger. In a new Introduction, the eminent classicist Mary Beard appraises the book's enduring-and sometimes surprising-influence and its value for general readers and students. She also provides an up-to-date bibliographic essay.

Richard Finn Op - Asceticism in the Graeco-Roman W orld (2009).jpg

Asceticism deploys abstention, self-control, and self-denial, to order oneself or a community in relation to the divine. Both its practices and the cultural ideals they expressed were important to pagans, Jews, Christians of different kinds, and Manichees. Richard Finn presents for the first time a combined study of the major ascetic traditions, which have been previously misunderstood by being studied separately. He examines how people abstained from food, drink, sexual relations, sleep, and wealth; what they meant by their behaviour; and how they influenced others in the Graeco-Roman world. Against this background, the book charts the rise of monasticism in Egypt, Asia Minor, Syria, and North Africa, assessing the crucial role played by the third-century exegete, Origen, and asks why monasticism developed so variously in different regions.

Hugh Lindsay - Adoption in the Roman World (2009).jpg

Adoption in other cultures and other times provides a background to understanding the operation of adoption in the Roman worlds. This book considers the relationship of adoption to kinship structures in the Greek and Roman world. It considers the procedures for adoption followed by a separate analysis of testamentary cases, and the impact of adoption on nomenclature. The impact of adoption on inheritance arrangements is considered, including an account of how the families of freedmen were affected. Its use as a mode of succession at Rome is detailed, and this helps to understand the anxiety of childless Romans to procure a son through adoption, rather than simply to nominate heirs in their wills. The strategy also had political uses, and importantly it was used to rearrange natural succession in the imperial family. The book concludes with political adoptions, looking at the detailed case studies of Clodius and Octavian.

Luke Timothy Johnson - Among the Gentiles, Greco-R oman Religion and Christianity (2009).jpg

The question of Christianity’s relation to the other religions of the world is more pertinent and difficult today than ever before. While Christianity’s historical failure to appreciate or actively engage Judaism is notorious, Christianity’s even more shoddy record with respect to “pagan” religions is less understood. Christians have inherited a virtually unanimous theological tradition that thinks of paganism in terms of demonic possession, and of Christian missions as a rescue operation that saves pagans from inherently evil practices.

In undertaking this fresh inquiry into early Christianity and Greco-Roman paganism, Luke Timothy Johnson begins with a broad definition of religion as a way of life organized around convictions and experiences concerning ultimate power. In the tradition of William James’s Variety of Religious Experience, he identifies four distinct ways of being religious: religion as participation in benefits, as moral transformation, as transcending the world, and as stabilizing the world. Using these criteria as the basis for his exploration of Christianity and paganism, Johnson finds multiple points of similarity in religious sensibility.

Christianity’s failure to adequately come to grips with its first pagan neighbors, Johnson asserts, inhibits any effort to engage positively with adherents of various world religions. This thoughtful and passionate study should help break down the walls between Christianity and other religious traditions.
