Description
This book examines Paul's anti-imperialisn, self-understanding as a Hellenistic Jew, and indebtedness to Roman civic life. Using rhetorical, socio-historical, and theological methods, Haddad reevaluates Paul's interconnection with his Greco-Roman environment and analyzes Paul's development of translocal links.

Reviews
Haddad offers a critique of the anti-imperial reading of the apostle Paul that all proponents of this approach will have to take into account. In particular, he is to be commended for bringing new sources and categories to the table. His focus on figured speech in relation to "hidden transcripts" adds a valuable emic perspective and will no doubt be extremely stimulating for future debates.
