Although the archaeological evidence indicates a prosperous and
thriving Galilee in the early first century CE, the Gospel texts
suggest a society under stress, where the rich were flourishing at
the expense of the poor. In this multi-disciplinary study, Rosemary
Margaret Luff contributes to current debates concerning the
pressures on early first-century Palestinian Jews, particularly
with reference to socio-economic and religious issues. She examines
Jesus within his Jewish environment in order to understand why he
rose to prominence when he did, and what motivated him to persevere
with his mission. Luff's study includes six carefully-constructed
essays that examine Early Christian texts against the wider
background of late Second Temple Judaic literature, together with
the material evidence of Galilee and Judea (Jerusalem).
Synthesizing a wide range of archaeological and textual data for
the first time, she offers new insights into the depth of social
discontent and its role in the rise of Christianity.
