Laura Nasrallah argues that early Christian literature addressed to
Greeks and Romans is best understood when read in tandem with the
archaeological remains of Roman antiquity. She examines
second-century Christianity by looking at the world in which
Christians 'lived and moved and had their being'. Early Christians
were not divorced from the materiality of the world, nor did they
always remain distant from the Greek culture of the time or the
rhetoric of Roman power. Nasrallah shows how early Christians took
up themes of justice, piety and even the question of whether humans
could be gods. They did so in the midst of sculptures that conveyed
visually that humans could be gods, monumental architecture that
made claims about the justice and piety of the Roman imperial
family, and ideas of geography that placed Greek or Roman ethnicity
at the center of the known world.
