The Byzantine Empire regarded itself as a continuation of the Roman Empire, differing from it only in being Christian in religion and Greek in language. No elements in its coinage, however, apart from the use of Latin in its inscriptions, go back before the fourth century.
This book represents the culmination of reflection over many years. Some of the ideas in it go back to the time of my doctoral studies in Oxford in the early 1980s especially my conviction that the historical investigation of what messages the New Testament authors conveyed to their original audiences must have theological significance when the texts are read in a Christian context today. Yet t…
