Foreign But Familiar Gods then uses a combination of these scriptural texts and other contemporary evidence (including archaeological and literary material) to suggest that one of Luke's subsidiary themes is to contrast Graeco-Roman and Christian religious conceptualizations and practices. 410 0$aT & T Clark library of biblical studies. 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies ;$v277. 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xGreek 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xRoman 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xGreek. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xRoman. 676 $a226.6/067 700 $aKauppi$b Lynn Allan$01704955 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828516603321 996 $aForeign but familiar gods$94091293 997 $aUNINA
