| Title: The God-Fearers - A Literary and Theological Invention Secondary Title: BArR Volume: 12 Pages: 47-53 Type: Journal Article Year: 1986 Abstract: "A survey of epigraphical evidence suggests that the terms referring to "Godfearer" were used of and about full Jewish members of ancient synagogue communities. Theories about large numbers of "semi-proselytes" cannot be supported and are to be viewed as illegitimate extrapolations from tendentious Lukan texts. The only exception to the silence of the archeological data is a new inscription from Aphrodisias, but the precise significance of that is doubtful".
