This eighth volume of First Urban Churches explores the literary, archaeological, documentary, numismatic, and iconographic evidence from ancient Galatia and Lycaonia. Essays focus on the northern cities of Ancyra and Pessinous and the southern cities of Pisidian Antioch and Iconium. An introduction to the province of Galatia and contributions focused on various aspects of ancient benefaction, locals mistaking Paul and Barnabas for Zeus and Hermes, Paul’s maternal metaphor for his ministry, and more shed light on the rise of early Christianity in this region. D. Clint Burnett, Alan H. Cadwallader, Susan M. (Elli) Elliott, James R. Harrison, Peter Oakes, Wesley Redgen, Michael P. Theophilos, David Wyman, and Arjan Zuiderhoek present cutting-edge research that opens new interpretive possibilities for the Letter to the Galatians.
