Did some early Christian groups worship the emperor or other Graeco-Roman gods? In his essay ‘Going All the Way? Honouring the Emperor and Sacrificing Wives and Slaves in 1 Peter 2.13-3.6’, Warren Carter has proposed a provocative reading of 1 Pet. 2.13–3.6, arguing that this author exhorts the audience to participate in cultic sacrifices to the emperor as part of a strategy to overcome the social-prejudice currently faced by the audience. In this article I offer an analysis of Carter’s position, as well as offer a detailed response to his argument. I begin by responding to his suggestions regarding Paul, the Apocalypse of John and the Governor Pliny. This is followed by a detailed look at two specific strands of evidence in 1 Pet. 1.18 and 4.3 and the audience’s experience of suffering, which indicate that Carter’s thesis is mistaken.

Öz: Edebi kaynaklar, epigrafik belgeler ve nümismatik veriler İkinci Sofistik Dönem'de (MS I-III. yüzyıl) sofist, retor ve filozofların mensubu oldukları aile ve aldıkları eğitim sonucunda, kamusal yükümlülükleri ait oldukları toplumsal sınıf içinde dikkat çekici şekilde başarıyla yerine getirdiklerini ve sahip oldukları parayı cömertçe kentleri için harcadıklarını göstermektedir. Bu kişiler βούλαρχος, βουλευτής, γραμματεύς, στρατηγός, ἀρχιερεύς, δᾳδοῦχος, ἱερεύς, ἱεροφάντης, νεωκόρος, νεοποιός, περιθύτης, προφήτης, ἀγορανόμος, λογιστής ve ταμίας, γυμνασίαρχος, ἐφήβαρχος, ἀγωνοθέτης, εἰρήναρχος/εἰρηνάρχης, στεφανήφορος, πρύτανις/πρυτανάρχης gibi önemli kent görevlerini üstlenmişlerdir. Ayrıca eyalet düzeyinde ἀγωνοθέτης, ἀρχιερεύς/ἀσιάρχης ve γαλατάρχης'lik gibi oldukça prestijli kamusal görevleri üstlendikleri de belgelenmektedir. Bu makalede ise İkinci Sofistik Dönem'de sofist, retor ve filozofların kentlerde üstlenmiş oldukları dini görevler ele alınmaktadır. Philostratos (VS) ve epigrafik belgeler aracılığıyla bu kişilerin arkhiereus, hiereus, dadoukhos, hierophantes, neokoros, neopoios, perithytes ve prophetes gibi önemli dini görevleri icra ettikleri belgelenmektedir. Bu görevleri kendi kentlerinde olduğu gibi vatandaşı oldukları diğer kentlerde de üstlenmişlerdir. Kamusal görevler üstlenmede retorların daha aktif olduğu görülmektedir; ancak dini görev üstlenen sofistlerin sayısı retorlardan daha fazladır. Filozofların ise genel olarak kamusal görev üstlenme ve imtiyazlar elde etme hususunda sofist ve retorların gerisinde kaldıkları tespit edilmektedir.

“…Fewer scholars in recent scholarship have ventured to explore Lukan christological themes against the backdrop of the Roman imperial cult and propaganda, although such study proves to be equally profitable for an appreciation of Luke's unique configuration of Jesus as the Christ (Brent 1997;Gilbert 2002;Janzen 2002). The assumed importance of the ruler cult for early Christian identity and rhetoric, especially for the book of Revelation, and the widespread influence of the images of the divine emperor in Asia Minor (Friesen 1993;, would suggest that more attention should be focused in this direction. It is undeniable that the method of separating Lukan Christology into Jewish, Greek and Roman backgrounds/categories reflects, in part at least, theological concerns: certain spheres are considered, albeit implicitly, safer than others.…”

Madness in the Method? the Acts of the Apostles in Current Study

Scholarship on the book of Acts frequently proceeds under the 'no final con flict' slogan when it comes to employing a diversity of methods. In this essay, however, some of the fundamental assumptions and approaches to Acts in recent scholarship are examined and challenged, raising questions related to the proliferation of method in New Testament and early Christian studies, the underlying methodological assumptions of particular interpre tive approaches, and the sublimation of theology and ideology in scholar ship. The past 15 years of Acts scholarship provides the context for this broad survey and interaction. The essential contours of the discussion are focused around matters related to genre, the nature of Acts as 'text', the book's connections to its broader socio-cultural and historical worlds, and, finally, to matters related to post-critical interactions with Acts. No easy solutions are offered in this essay; rather, the broad discussion of method in current Acts scholarship pushes for a return to greater methodological awareness and reflection in the discipline.
