He also takes a close look at inscriptional evidence to complement the reading of the great literary texts: from Paul's letter to the Romans to the writings of Clement of Rome, Justin Martyr, Montanus, and Valentinus. This study is a groundbreaking work - broad in scope and closely detailed. Lampe deals with the shape of leadership and the followers of Christ in relation to the Judeans living in Rome."--BOOK JACKET ER -
