A nuanced narrative about the intersections of religious and economic life in early
Christianity. The divine was an active participant in the economic spheres of the
ancient Mediterranean world. Evidence demonstrates that gods and goddesses were represented
as owning goods, holding accounts, and producing wealth through the mediation of religious
and civic officials. This book argues that early Christ-followers also used financial
language to articulate and imagine their relationship to the divine. Theo-economics--intertwined
theological and economic logics in which divine and human beings regularly transact
with one another--permeate the letters of Paul and other texts connected with Pauline
communities. Unlike other studies, which treat the ancient economy and religion separately,
Divine Accounting takes seriously the overlapping of themes such as poverty, labor,
social status, suffering, cosmology, and eschatology in material evidence from the
ancient Mediterranean and early Christian texts
