| Summary: | This is an interesting collection of papers drawn from the 2001 meeting of the European Association of Biblical Studies in Rome. Four articles consider life in Rome, for people in general or specific groups. Three consider New Testament issues relating to Rome. Five consider post-apostolic Christianity. The limitation of the book is its length: twelve articles in 185 pages. Eight are in English, four in German (with English abstracts). The longer of the articles tend to make a significant contribution but the shorter ones generally stop just when the argument gets most interesting., Christiane Kunst (in German, 18 pages) writes on the social topography of early Imperial Rome. The article is an excellent synthesis of much of the key literary and archaeological evidence. |
