Elliott offers a fresh and surprising reinterpretation of Pauls
letter to the Romans in the context of Roman imperial ideology,
bringing to the text the latest insights from classical studies,
rhetorical criticism, postcolonial criticism, and peoples history.
By setting the letter alongside Roman texts (Cicero, Virgil, the
Res Gestae of Augustus, Seneca, poets from the age of Nero, as well
as later historians and satirists), Elliott provides a dramatic new
reading of the letter as Pauls confrontation with the arrogance of
empireand an emerging Christianity already tempted by the seductive
ideology of imperial power.
