"The author compares the depiction of Jewish and Christian identity in the Acts of the Apostles with portrayals of civic identity in contemporaneous material and epigraphic remains to demonstrate how the author of Acts identifies Christians with Jewish associations and legitimates an idealized image of Christian gatherings in ways similar to elite negotiations of civic identity. This study provides a recontextualization of Acts and its depiction of Jewish identity within larger Roman era discourses that configured the relations between gods and humans along ancestral and civic lines"--
