In attempting to understand the role of early Christians in the GraecoRoman world, New Testament scholars have not sufficiently appreciated the significance of the expansive term politeia, minimizing our understanding of the function of Christians in the public place. In this first volume of a series titled FirstCentury Christians in the GraecoRoman World, Winter maps out the role and obligations of the early Christians as benefactors and citizens in their society. Drawing on important ancient literary and nonliterary sources, he explores the complexities of the positive commitments made by early Christians in Gentile regions of the Roman Empire.
