| Summary: | Frontmatter --Acknowledgments --Contents --Abbreviations of Common Reference Works and Editions --Introduction --Chapter 1. Rationale and Approach --Chapter 2. Narratives for Praise and Blame: Tacitus on Agricola, Philo on Flaccus --Chapter 3. Governors in Historiography: Josephus' Judean War and Judean Antiquities --Chapter 4. An Agent of Rome in the Gospel of Luke: Pontius Pilate --Chapter 5. Paul and Rome: The Governors in Acts --Bibliography --Index. This book examines Luke's depiction of the Roman provincial governors in his narrative, interpreted in terms of his Greco-Roman literary context. 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 |
