The first basic thesis of Anti-Roman Cryptograms in the New
Testament: Hidden Transcripts of Hope and Liberation is that the
Jesus of history and his earliest and closest followers during his
lifetime and during the decades after he had been crucified by the
Romans had not only a deep longing for eternal life with God beyond
the limits of this world, but also a strong desire for liberation
from Roman political, economic, and social oppression. The second
basic thesis of Anti-Roman Cryptograms in the New Testament is that
within the Christian Scriptures there are more hidden transcripts,
coded messages (anti-Roman cryptograms) of hope and liberation, for
« freedom now within this life, than we have realized throughout
most of the history of interpretation. Hidden transcripts of hope
and liberation are coded so that oppressed people are able to
communicate to their fellow oppressed people in ways in which their
message and their intent are shielded from the perceptions of their
oppressors. These messages by the Jesus of history and by the
writers of New Testament and related literature use the language of
faith, of salvation, of Deity, and of adversaries of Deity, giving
words that are commonly used by the oppressed people new and double
meanings. Within interaction with other scholars who are publishing
studies of hidden transcripts, this book is an analysis of hidden
transcripts within each of the New Testament documents. The book is
designed to be used in New Testament Studies courses at
undergraduate and/or graduate levels, by study groups, and by all
persons who desire a more adequate understanding of the Jesus of
history, his closest followers, and their oral and written
communications during the first three centuries C.E.
