The contributors to this volume explore sacred texts in their context, from Second Temple Judaism, Early Christianity, and Rabbinic Judaism. Each essay in the collection addresses the issue of oppressive imperial ideology and the extent to which the authors of sacred texts engaged their political contexts.
