You Shall Not Bow Down and Serve Them: The Political Economic Projects of Jesus and Paul by Richard A. Horsley (review)

Abstract

Matthew under the Farrer Hypothesis is shown not only to be consistent with his imitation of other material both in the Gospel and in Acts but also to be consistent with the techniques available to other writers of his day, especially those employed by Virgil and Philo. Eve’s study is both difficult and technical but also rewarding. There is much to learn from this book, and there is no doubt that E. has advanced the debate in new and exciting directions.
