Divine Accounting

“An exciting and innovative approach. . . . Quigley appropriately challenges our fragmented understanding of the ancient world.”—Roger S. Nam, Scottish Journal of Theology

“Quigley’s focus on an expanded palette of economic aspects of early Christian literature is most welcome . . . I can only hope to see more studies like this in the future.”—Thomas R. Blanton IV, Journal of Economics, Theology and Religion

“An important, convincing, and necessary intervention in Pauline studies and the study of the ancient economy, Divine Accounting stands to make a large impact on future scholarship.”—Cavan Concannon, author of “When You Were Gentiles”

“Divine Accounting is a fascinating and important book—with Jennifer Quigley a brilliant and incomparable guide to both the literary and other material evidence for the roles of divine participants in ancient Mediterranean economies and, thus, within epistles and their audiences.”—Joseph A. Marchal, author of Appalling Bodies: Queer Figures Before and After Paul’s Letters
