What does economics have to do with Christian origins? Why study
such a connection? First of all, the New Testament makes many
direct references to economic issues. But, second of all, the
economy affects every other aspect of life (family, religion,
community, work, health, and politics). How prosperous was
first-century Galilee? To understand what it was like to live in a
society, one must understand its economy. The study of the economy
includes not only the goods and services of the society but also
human labor and its control. The study must also take into account
how fair the economy was to each family. Those involved in the
quest for the historical Jesus have discovered that the ancient
economy is a major point of dispute among various interpreters. Was
the early Jesus movement a socioeconomic protest? Or was it
primarily a religious reform? These two approaches understand Jesus
in remarkably different ways. This volume seeks to guide readers
through some of the most controversial issues raised in the last
twenty years on this important topic.
