5.0 out of 5 starsBest book I've read in 2014 to date
By Amazon Customer on May 9, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Scholarly gaze into the Roman banquet practice and cultural milieu that permeated the practice and how the early Christians/church flipped it upside down. But first, the author explores Roman culture and how those that separate church and state in Scripture error by imposing a modernist imprint upon that age -- a time when everything was *political* and the one of the most *political* of customs was sharing a meal together -- from who was invited, to seating arrangements, to the benedictions and libations offered to political overlords (with "Lord Caesar" arched above all), favor exchanges and reciprocity driven status seekers.

Then, the Christian practice of "communion service" is studied -- where Christians ape the Roman practice, with the deipnon (sharing of a meal similar to a potluck today), then the symposium (a time of worship, prayer, ministry, thoughtful discussion) with libation and bread/drink offered up in remembrance of Jesus. But the Christian practice was a "subversive" twist on the Roman custom -- fellowship (koinonia), friendship (philia) and equality (isonomia), preached by Paul in NT was the model -- male, female, master, slave, Jew, Gentile, all equals at the table, and believers urged to kill their egos, and serve each other.

The penultimate chapter is ostensibly about prophecy, but I discovered the bits (author covers some bible passages from Acts, Corinthians, Thessalonians, Revelation) about 1 Cor 13, sandwiched (pun!) between 1 Cor 12 and 1 Cor 14 awe inducing in that I'll never be able to hear 1 Cor 13 (the famous "love" passage) again without seeing what the author reveals -- the moorings to Christian banquet, and conduct of Christians to self-sacrifice -- "Between his treatment of the superiority of love (vv.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsWe Have Missed Out!
By William Rose Heim on November 1, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Finally, an accessible yet well researched book that helps us to make better sense of first century Christian worship. For those of us who think that worship is rooted in more than spiritual exuberance, here is evidence that the meal at which all were practicing life as Jesus described in the Kingdom threatened the system of patronage and privilege ubiquitous in the Roman Empire. No wonder the meal was subversive! The implications for a post-modern Church are enormous. The reinterpretation of Scripture is refreshing. Only wish this was available sooner.
