AB Seyoon Kim’s book grew out of what was originally intended to be an excursus in his forthcoming commentary on 1–2 Thessalonians, and for its extended length it retains something of that feel—a narrow focus on the exegesis of the Pauline corpus and Luke–Acts with no sustained discussion of the imperial cult eo ipso and only a short discussion of method. The book falls into two parts, first on Paul’s letters and second on Luke–Acts, with a conclusion and epilogue concerning contemporary implications., After a very brief introduction (pp. xiv–xvi), Part I on Paul’s letters covers 1 and 2 Thessalonians in chapter 1 and Philippians, Romans, and 1 Corinthians in chapter 2. Kim’s primary interlocutors are Richard Horsley, N. T.
