This book addresses the influence of the imperial cult in
first-century AD Asia Minor and its subsequent relevance to the
reading of the New Testament. In particular, this work argues,
through a contrapuntal reading of 1 Timothy 2: 1-7, that the early
Christian community strongly resisted the Emperor's claim to be the
"mediator" between the gods and humanity. In contrast to this
claim, the author shows that 1 Timothy 2: 1-7 can be read as a
polemic from a minority community, the Christian church in Ephesus,
against the powerful voice of the Roman Empire in regard to divine
mediation.
