have come to show a way of salvation!’ The Philippian jailer in Acts 16:30 asks, ‘What must
I do to be saved?’ What do they have in common regarding their understanding of the meaning
of salvation? How is it similar or different from the understanding of salvation in Africa? Are
these in line with the salvation narrative aim of Luke in Acts 16? Through the sociohistorical
method, this paper explores the Greco-Roman context of the slave girl and the jailer. In this
process, a contextual similarity between the Greco-Roman context and the African context is
identified and the impact of these contexts on the understanding of the meaning of salvation
is examined. Placed in conversation with the Lukan meaning of salvation in the passage, an
alternative meaning of salvation emerges, along with implications for the Greco-Roman and
African contexts.
Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article shows interdisciplinarity
by an engagement with a theological concept through the utilisation of the sociohistorical
method in generating meaning and understanding of a New Testament text. It navigates the
disciplines of New Testament, Biblical Studies, Mission and Apologetics.
