Divided Worlds? - Johnson Hodge Caroline

This volume brings together scholars from New Testament studies and classics, whose fields of study have much in common but are not often in conversation. The contributors explore how the ancient works they study can be resources for thinking critically and creatively about issues that matter today. The essays address our obligation to take positive moral stands on divisive issues of both the past and the present, including empire, racial/ethnic and religious difference, economic inequality, gender and sexuality, slavery, and disability.
