In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of Hobby Lobby, announced a purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE.

Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable.

In this book, I offer a persuasive historical explanation of why Paul did not explicitly condemn the institution of Roman slavery and why Paul did not urge that freedom be granted to all Roman slaves. In an earlier book, I showed that the Stoic philosopher Seneca did not condemn Roman slavery or call for emancipation because Seneca accepted the absolute political authority of the Emperor Nero as the de facto political slave master of the Roman world, despite Seneca's emphasis on the human dignity of the slave. In the same way, Paul's acceptance of Nero's absolute authority as the political ...

Contrary to common assumptions among scholars, I emphasize that the political loyalty of Seneca to the...
