This collection of essays from a diverse group of internationally
recognized scholars builds on the work of Steven J. Friesen to
analyze the material and ideological dimensions of John’s
Apocalypse and the religious landscape of the Roman East. Readers
will gain new perspectives on the interpretation of John’s
Apocalypse, the religion of Hellenistic cities in the Roman Empire,
and the political and economic forces that shaped life in the
Eastern Mediterranean. The chapters in this volume examine texts
and material culture within carefully localized analysis while
attending to their ideological and socio-economic contexts,
expanding upon aspects of Friesen’s research and methodology
while also forging new directions. The book brings together a
diverse and international set of experts including emerging voices
in the fields of biblical studies, Roman social history, and
classical archaeology, and each essay presents fresh, critically
informed analysis of key sites and texts from the periods of
Christian origins and Roman imperial rule. Revelation and Material
Religion in the Roman East is of interest to students and scholars
working on Christian origins, ancient Judaism, Roman religion,
classical archaeology, and the social history of the Roman Empire,
as well as material religion in the ancient Mediterranean more
broadly. It is also suitable for religious practitioners within
Christian contexts.
