Winter U.S.A. Wm. B. Eerdmans 2015 338tr. paperback, illustrations 23 cm This volume presents Winter's careful re-evaluation of the extraordinarily rapid spread of social pressure among both Gentiles and Jews, across the first-century Greek East publicly to honour living Roman emperors as divine beings. His geographically and chrnologically focused approach especially reveals a diverse range of responses to this phenomenon both among the Jews and among the first Christians whose primary allegiance was to Jesus as Messiah. By analysing the primary, non-literary sources and building on the scholarship of other ancient historians, this study advances the field in particular and important ways.
