Glad to have contributed to this volume! Check it out for FREE!!!
Thrilled to share the news that my edited volume “Empire Criticism of the New Testament: New Approaches” has ranked #1 among @mohrsiebeck's most accessed theology eBooks of 2025 ... and #2 across their entire eBook program - and that despite being published only in October!
I’m genuinely proud of this collaborative project, which brings together new approaches to rethink how we analyse early Christian texts in relation to Roman ideology and imperial discourse.

Purchase Nicholas J. Schaser's A Ransom for Israel: Jesus and Jewish Salvation in Matthew for 30% off through 31 December during the #AARSBL2025 sale. Order your copy with code AM2025! cart.sbl-site.org/books/0645…
ALT Quote: “The gospel depicts Jesus recapitulating biblical Israel, but not to present him as a new and righteous Israel to replace the old, sinful one. On the contrary, Matthew explicates that Jesus will save his people by offering his life as a ‘ransom in exchange for many’ (20:28).” —Nicholas J. Schaser

In case you're interested, I have an essay coming out on how speech theory can help to evaluate whether the New Testament was critical of the Roman Empire in an edited volume by @ChristophHeilig on Methodologies of NT Empire Criticism. Also includes a great list of contributors.
