This book addresses the ways that the Gospel of Matthew portrays Roman military power. Christianson argues that Matthew seeks to help his audience negotiate imperial military control through strategies of avoidance, accommodation, non-violent resistance, mimicry, and dreams of divine retribution and eschatological fulfillment.
