About the Author
C. Kavin Rowe is a distinguished theologian and scholar whose work bridges ancient philosophy and Christian scripture, offering fresh insights into the transformative power of early Christian narratives. A professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School, Rowe's research explores how biblical texts challenged and reshaped the Greco-Roman world, emphasizing rival traditions that redefined human existence. His acclaimed book One True Life: The Stoics and Early Christians as Rival Traditions examines the profound differences between Stoic and Christian visions of the good life, while World Upside Down: Reading Acts in the Graeco-Roman Age (also available in Traditional Chinese as 攪亂天下的福音: 看使徒行傳如何擾動希羅世界) vividly illustrates the disruptive impact of the Acts of the Apostles on imperial culture. Through rigorous exegesis and interdisciplinary analysis, Rowe invites readers to encounter the gospel's radical call to an alternative way of being in the world.
