Description: Why did early Christians claim their "otherness" as resident aliens, strangers, and sojourners so vocally? Aliens and Sojourners explores the markedly different ways that Christians used the rhetoric of their own marginality in order to variously situate Christian identity in relation to the ancient Roman world.

Review Quotes: "Offers a model that should invite extension of the approach to other writings"-- "Review of Biblical Literature"
