Body and Character in Luke and Acts

- The Subversion of Physiognomy in Early Christianity

Bag om Body and Character in Luke and Acts

Early Christianity developed in a world where moral significance was often judged based upon physical appearance alone. Exploring the manifestations of this ancient "science" of physiognomy, Parsons rightly shows how Greco-Roman society, and by consequence the author of Luke and Acts, was steeped in this tradition.
