One Amazon reviewer described it as more of an art history book - given how much I liked [b:Sacred Shock: Framing Visual Experience in Byzantium|578773|Sacred Shock Framing Visual Experience in Byzantium|Glenn Peers|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348235859s/578773.jpg|565690], that sounds appealing to me.

One who takes the title "The New Cambridge Companion To St. Paul" as representing certain pinnacle of current Pauline studies, will be disappointed that the piece by Paula Fredriksen is anything but. Fredriksen reads the Pauline corpus with a blinder, interprets with prejudices, and postulates with scant citations. These hardly characterize what normally associates with good and balanced scholarship.

[Further review below:]

Of the collection, essays by the following authors are worth reading:

- Margaret Y. MacDonald
- Peter Oakes
- Douglas A. Campbell
- Matthew V. Novenson
- John M. G. Barclay

The analysis and literary comparisons by Oakes are particularly cogent; and the last essay by Barclay is timely and thought-provoking.

This is an incredibly unique book that imagines a conversation between Luke (the writer of Luke-Acts) and Antipas, a member of the elite Roman upper-class and benefactor in Pergamum, who is mentioned only in passing in Revelation. It is a fictionalized story that "could have happened" within the 1st century and reveals much of the social understandings of the day, while struggling through the social/political ramifications of the story of Jesus of Nazareth.

Very interesting and insightful thoughts on the society that made up the early church, and that which the early church faced.
