Foreign But Familiar Gods

Through a close and informative reading of seven key texts in Acts Kauppi analyses the appearances of Graeco-Roman religion offering evidence of practices including divination and oracles ruler cult and civic foundation myth.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <i>Foreign But Familiar Gods</i> 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.
