Temple and Empire explores the theme of temple piety in Luke-Acts and 1 Clement in historical context. Mina Monier argues that situating both works in Trajanic Rome, and reading them through the lens of Roman imperial ideology explains their peculiarly positive presentation of the Temple as a form of reverence toward ancient worship and ancestral customs that would not offend, but would appeal to traditional Roman sensibilities.

In this brilliant study, Mina Monier argues that the Temple piety of Luke-Acts fits well both with 1 Clement and the cultural environment of Rome in the Trajanic period, a time in which there was a strong focus on pietas, maintaining ancestral customs and keeping peace and concord. While illuminating the cultural milieu in which Luke-Acts was forged, he provides new perspectives on the complex way the Temple is portrayed.
