{"product_id":"jesus-as-mediator-von-malcolm-gill","title":"Jesus as Mediator","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses the influence of the imperial cult in first-century AD Asia Minor and its subsequent relevance to the reading of the New Testament. In particular, this work argues, through a contrapuntal reading of 1 Timothy 2:1-7, that the early Christian community strongly resisted the Emperor¿s claim to be the «mediator» between the gods and humanity. In contrast to this claim, the author shows that 1 Timothy 2:1-7 can be read as a polemic from a minority community, the Christian church in Ephesus, against the powerful voice of the Roman Empire in regard to divine mediation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783039118298\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePolitics and Polemic in 1 Timothy 2:1-7\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783039118298","offer_id":46961891606853,"sku":"9783039118298","price":67.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/99a786be-d338-4be5-b36a-e497c40212ac.jpg?v=1780114541","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/jesus-as-mediator-von-malcolm-gill","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
