The New Testament and the Roman Empire
The early christiana of the new testament against empire. One view is the early christians used terms like lord, gospel and saviour as a way to kind of thumb the nose at the roman empire. The other view is that they did picket but weren'toovertly concerned about changing political policy. They encouraged slaves to obey. They encourage wives to be submissive. You have all of this in the new testament even though in revelation you do have the calling out, you know, revolution. Revelation as war tream on the anti imperial end.
