The author's fundamental attitude toward Rome is hard to discern, however. The complexity of Luke's task as both a creative writer and a mediator of received tradition, and perhaps as well the author's own ambivalence, have left conflicting evidence in the narrative. Scholarly treatments of the issue have tended to survey in a relatively short scope a great amount of material with different degrees of relevance to the question and representing different proportions of authorial contribution and traditional material. This book attempts to make a contribution to the discussion by narrowing the focus to Luke's depiction of the Roman provincial governors in his narrative, interpreted in terms of his Greco-Roman literary context. Luke's portraits of Roman governors can be seen to invoke expectations and concerns that were common in the literary context. By these standards Luke's portrait of these Roman authority figures is relatively critical, and demonstrates his preoccupation with Rome's judgment of the Christians more than a desire to commend Roman rule. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der a?lteren Kirche ;$vBand 209. 606 $aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / New Testament$2bisacsh 607 $aRome$xIn the Bible 610 $aFlavius Josephus. 610 $aImperium Romanum. 610 $aLuke-Acts. 610 $anarrative criticism. 615 7$aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / New Testament. 676 $a226.4/067 700 $aYoder$b Joshua P.$01575793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788808003321 996 $aRepresentatives of Roman rule$93853068 997 $aUNINA
