520 $a"A Postcolonial Reading of the Acts of the Apostles shows what really transpired in the Acts narrative written within the Roman colonial and the native Jewish cultural nationalistic contexts in the first century AD. Drawing on the theoretical insights of Homi K. Bhabha and other postcolonial theorists and practitioners, the author of this book shows how this early Christian discourse positions itself in a third space in-between the native Jewish nationalistic and the alien Greco-Roman colonial discourses of power; how it accommodates and disrupts both those discourses almost simultaneously; and carves out a unique space of emancipation for an early Christian community from which it launches its 'accommodative and disruptive mission' against colonial Rome and the native Jewish cultural nationalism (Yehudavad)."--Dust jacket.
