* A thought-provoking examination of the resurrection's relevance within the context of imperial Rome. Offering a fresh perspective on 1 Thessalonians 1:9b--10, Pillar examines literary, numismatic, and archaeological evidence to illuminate how residents in an ancient Roman city would have responded to the anti-imperialist message inherent in the proclamation that Jesus rose from the dead. 320 pages, softcover from Fortress.
