How does Luke's portrait of the outsider help in exploring the
theology and historiography of Acts? Previous studies of the author
and his work have concentrated on the speeches given by insiders -
members of the early Christian church - but until now the speeches
of the outsiders have been marginalised by scholars in the field.
Osvaldo Padilla takes a highly original approach by concentrating
on the direct speech of such figures, arguing that the portrayal of
outsiders to a religious movement should not be neglected when
considering the author's viewpoint. By exploring the place of
outsiders in Old Testament and Second Temple literature, then
offering comparisons with the depictions found in Acts, Padilla
provides a fresh, insightful take on the subject that will prove
invaluable to scholars and students of biblical and early Christian
studies.
