Two major religions originated in Galilee: rabbinic Judaism and
Christianity. Both of these religions stem from and lay claim to
ancient Israelite traditions that were cultivated in Galilee as
well as in Judea and Samaria. According to the Christian Gospels,
Jesus, whose hometown was Nazareth, carried out his ministry
primarily in Galilee. Following the Roman suppression of two
widespread revolts in Judea, rabbinic traditions indicate that the
rabbis and other Judeans relocated to Galilee where they
established academies and compiled first the Mishnah and later the
Jerusalem Talmud. The rise of Islam, of course, produced yet
another religion whose faithful value this territory. Richard
Horsley takes all of these developments into account in this
commanding study of the basic political and economic relations that
prevailed in Roman Palestine, with particular reference to Galilee
and with particular sensitivity to the implications for the
resident's lives. The outcome of his meticulous research, analysis,
and reconstruction provides a more complete and precise sense of
the historical Jesus and the Christian Gospel traditions.
