Crossing Galilee -Architectures of Contact in the Occupied Land of Jesus

Advance Praise for
Crossing Galilee
“…provides refreshing new perspectives that commend themselves by their clarity and their applicability.”*
In this engaging book, Marianne Sawicki brings to life the Galilee of Jesus’ day. Using both archaeology to situate Jesus clearly in his Galilean cultural context, she challenges recent studies of the historical Jesus and early Christianity. She calls into question readings of ancient Galilee as an economically stratified society marked by an “honour-shame” sociology.
