Situating Acts -- Perfect martyr: situating Stephen within Acts -- Disrupting Acts: reading Stephen alongside James, the brother of Jesus -- "Father, forgive them": the place of the perfect prayer in the construction of Christian identity |
| Summary |
This book analyzes Stephen's perfection, both his rhetorical fittingness & Christian tradition concerning the significance of his dying forgiveness prayer. It questions the historicity, underscores Acts' rhetorical violence, and reads Acts against narratives of the martyrdom of James as a means to a richer history of early Jewish-Christian relations |
