In the past 20 years, a new paradigm has emerged around the
study of festive dining as a seminal social practice that
functioned as the matrix for the social formation of a variety of
groups in the Greco-Roman world, including earliest Christianity
and pre-Rabbinic Judaism. Most recently, an international team of
scholars, organized as the Society of Biblical Literature Seminar
on Meals in the Greco-Roman World, has developed this paradigm in a
series of groundbreaking studies. This volume provides a collection
of those studies in four areas of focus: The Typology of the
Greco-Roman Banquet; The Archeology of the Banquet; Who Was at the
Greco-Roman Banquets?; and The Culture of Reclining. Together they
establish festive meals as an essential lens into social formation
in the Greco-Roman world.
