Críticas:

This excellent volume on the archaeological sites in Galilee provides the underpinnings for the topically arranged Galilee, Volume 1. A who s who of the key archaeologists and other leading scholars take the reader through all the main Galilean sites for which well-documented archaeological evidence is currently available. Galilee, Volume 2 will be a basic resource for study of the context of Galilean Judaism and of the historical Jesus and his early followers. --Peter Oakes, University of Manchester

Reseña del editor:

This second of two volumes on Galilee in the Late Second Temple and Mishnaic Periods focuses on the site excavations of towns and villages and what these excavations may tell us about the history of settlement in this important period. The important site at Sepphoris is treated with four short articles, while the rest of the articles focus on a single site and include site plans, diagrams, maps, photographs of artifacts and structures, and extensive bibliographic listings. The articles in the volume have been written by an international group of experts on Galilee in this period: Christians, Jews, and secular scholars, many of whom are also regular participants in the twenty site excavations featured in the volume. The volume also features detailed maps of Galilee, a gallery of color images, timelines related to the period, and helpful indices. Together with Volume 1: Life, Culture, and Society, this volume provides the latest word of these topics for the expert and nonexpert alike.
