Anthony Keddie investigates the changing dynamics of class and
power at a critical place and time in the history of Judaism and
Christianity - Palestine during its earliest phases of
incorporation into the Roman Empire (63 BCE-70 CE). He identifies
institutions pertaining to civic administration, taxation,
agricultural tenancy, and the Jerusalem Temple as sources of an
unequal distribution of economic, political, and ideological power.
Through careful analysis of a wide range of literary, documentary,
epigraphic, and archaeological evidence, including the most recent
discoveries, Keddie complicates conventional understandings of
class relations as either antagonistic or harmonious. He
demonstrates how elites facilitated institutional changes that
repositioned non-elites within new, and sometimes more precarious,
relations with privileged classes, but did not typically worsen
their economic conditions. These socioeconomic shifts did, however,
instigate changing class dispositions. Judaean elites and
non-elites increasingly distinguished themselves from the other,
through material culture such as tableware, clothing, and tombs.
