"Horsely offers New Testament scholars a wealth of well-digested information on the latest archaeological information." (Journal for the Study of the NT ) q REVIEW: "a fascinating critique of contemporary theories regarding the beginnings of Christianity and of rabbinic Judaism. There is a good deal to be savoured in this book, and all splendidly documented. Its contribution is greatly to be welcomed and deserves to be given the most serious attention."

"Few stones are left unturned as Horsley assesses, evaluates, or probes the social, political, economic, cultural, and religious background to Jesus and the rabbis in Galilee. Horsley has succeeded in his primary goal of provisionally engaging scholars from various fields in an inter-disciplinary dialogue centered around the Galilee. The book deserves a careful reading by scholars in the fields of archaeology, rabbinics, and early Christianity."
