George Smith, a twentieth-century American, moved into a house
with a large vineyard in the Eastern Mediterranean during the first
century AD, going back in time and space. He needed help on his
land and requested that individuals interested in work be at his
place at 9 a.m. on August 8. No one showed up. Why not? This is
just one of the sixty fun-to-read vignettes Bruce Malina cleverly
presents in this book that explains the customs and culture of the
world in which Jesus lived and taught. Each adventure depicts a
twentieth-century North American encountering puzzling practices
while visiting Judea during ancient times. These vignettes offer
quick and easy access to the first-century Mediterranean world and
relate to segments of the New Testament and other passages from the
same cultural area.
