If you have access to a library or are a member of SBL and can view the
online version - I believe Semeia 79 was dedicated to 'Rhetorics of
Resistance'. It may perhaps give you some starting points.

Best wishes,

List,

I light of the events of Sept. 11th, and the subsequent media interest
in Osama BinLaden's Al Qaida organization, including its various front
organizations (charities, money exchanges, banking, etc), I am
reminded of Mike Conley's* not-so-recent posts in which he expressed
the opinion that early Christianity had assumed the form of a
subversive organization intent upon toppling the Roman state and
replacing it with one of its own making.

It seems to me that the relatively rapid dissemination of Christianity
(albeit in a multitude of forms) through the empire, and the
organizational structures mentioned or alluded to in the NT and early
Christian literature, bear a closer look.
