| Sumario: | This paper discusses and explains some aspects of emperor worship. Two limitations in terms of evidence are observed by focussing on the cities mentioned in Revelation 1-3 and remaining within the first century. Emperor worship was a very important way of conceptualising reality, that is society and politics under Roman rule. More fundamentally it reflected a certain perspective on God. These two facets explain something of the conflict experienced by contemporary society and some Christian groups at the end of the first century in Asia Minor. |
