- Summary
- Through judicious use of social-science methodology, Hanson and Oakman's enormously helpful volume explains in a readable way the primary social institutions and structures in ancient Palestine, with a view to how they were reflected in and shaped the early Jesus movement.
- After an overview of social analysis and the ancient Mediterranean worldview, the book systematically presents major domains and institutions of family, politics, and economy, always with reference to biblical texts. Finally, the authors explore the religious institutions, especially Herod's Temple system and Jesus' relation to it. The wealth of archaeological and documentary data and analysis is enhanced by extensive charts, diagrams, study questions, glossaries, and suggested readings.
