Description The paper deals with the imagination of Jerusalem in the Acts of the Apostles. Jerusalem plays a crucial role in Luke’s theology as a starting point for the Christian church and mission. Therefore, close attention is paid to the protagonist of the Acts of the Apostles, Paul of Tarsus, and his relation to Jerusalem. The article reconsiders Paul’s relations to the city and temple of Jerusalem as well as to Jerusalem’s Christian community and its leaders. Luke’s vision of Jerusalem in the portrayal of Paul is examined as a locative anchoring of the Lukan cosmopolite theology, as a “diaspora myth of origins in the homeland” (M.P. Miller).
