A consultation of roundtable discussions and plenaries convened by the New Testament Department at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. The Roman Empire as social, political, and religious context for the study of the New Testament has gained much traction in recent years. This consultation seeks to move beyond simply noticing the resonance between New Testament texts and Roman imperial contexts, reflecting the most current innovations in this field of research and teaching. Three working group areas (The Arts of Resistance; Justification by Faith and the Law of Empire; Power, Gender, and Sexuality) seek to reimagine what a methodological realignment means for interpretation and meaningmaking in a variety of contexts, both ancient and contemporary.

Hal Taussig, Convener, Visiting Professor of New Testament, Union Theological Seminary
- Power, Gender, and Sexuality
Davina C. Lopez, '99 MA, ’06 Ph.D., Convener, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Eckerd College
