Hidden Criticism of the Angry Tyrant in Early Judaism and the Acts
of the Apostles adds to the current literature of imperial-critical
New Testament readings with an examination of Luke's hidden
criticism of imperial Rome in the Acts of the Apostles and in
Paul's speech on the Areopagus in Acts 17. Focusing on discursive
resistance in the Hellenistic world, Strait examines the
relationship between hidden criticism and persuasion and between
subordinates and the powerful, and he explores the challenge to the
dissident voice to communicate criticism while under surveillance.
Strait argues that Luke confronts the idolatrous power and iconic
spectacle of gods and kings with the Gospel of the Lord of all-a
worldview that is incompatible with the religions of Rome,
including emperor worship.
