The Myth of a Gentile Galilee is the most thorough synthesis to
date of archaeological and literary evidence relating to the
population of Galilee in the first-century CE. The book
demonstrates that, contrary to the perceptions of many New
Testament scholars, the overwhelming majority of first-century
Galileans were Jews. Utilizing the gospels, the writings of
Josephus, and published archaeological excavation reports, Mark A.
Chancey traces the historical development of the region's
population and examines in detail specific cities and villages,
finding ample indications of Jewish inhabitants and virtually none
for gentiles. He argues that any New Testament scholarship that
attempts to contextualize the Historical Jesus or the Jesus
movement in Galilee must acknowledge and pay due attention to the
region's predominantly Jewish milieu. This accessible book will be
of interest to New Testament scholars as well as scholars of
Judaica, Syro-Palestinian archaeology, and the Roman Near East.
