WISSENSCHAFTLICHE UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZUM NEUEN TEST...

While recent publications have explored the relationship between New Testament texts and early
Roman imperial ideology  Ephesians has been underanalyzed in these conversations. In this study
Justin Winzenburg provides an original contribution to the field by assessing how matters of
the disputed authorship  audience  and date of Ephesians have varied consequences for the
imperial-critical status of the epistle. Previously underexplored elements of the Roman context
of Ephesians  with a focus on maiestas [treason] charges  imperial cults  and Roman imperial
eschatology are examined in light of the two major theories of the date of the epistle. The
author concludes that  while there are limitations to an imperial-critical reading of the
epistle  some of the epistle's speech acts can be understood as subversive of Roman imperial
ideology.
