Acts of Empire, Second Edition is written by Christina Petterson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1532676301 (ISBN 10) and 9781532676307 (ISBN 13).

This book combines New Testament studies and cultural theory, and analyzes Acts of the Apostles as a product of imperial discourse. In five chapters, Christina Petterson engages Acts with ideology, gender, class, and empire with different emphases. All of these analyses argue that Christianity can never be set outside discourses of exploitation, discrimination, and hierarchies, but must always be set within them.
