Jesus And The Empire Of God by Warren Carter
This study situates Jesus within the realities of Roman imperial rule and argues that his proclamation of God’s reign functioned as a concrete, counter-imperial movement. By examining healings, exorcisms, table fellowship, parables, and teachings about debt, purity, and power, it portrays an alternative social order marked by justice, inclusion, shared resources, and fidelity to Israel’s God over against the violence, hierarchy, and patronage of empire. Reconstructing the historical context and interpreting key Gospel traditions, it presents a portrait of public, resistive discipleship with implications for contemporary communities.
