Download or read book Settlement History Around the Sea of Galilee from the Neolithic to the Persian Period written by Wolfgang Zwickel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area around the Sea of Galilee has always been densely settled. Several important excavation sites are situated in this territory, and scholars have long been interested in this area. However, landscape archaeology in this area has received little attention over the last century. Careful research into the settlement history gives deeper insight into the historical and economic development of each of the five different geographical units surrounding the Sea of Galilee: the Jordan Valley, Lower Galilee, Upper Galilee, the Golan and the Transjordanian hill country. Mapping the fertile fields in this region and comparing them with the distribution of sites illuminates the economic conditions in each period. In a similar vein the road connections and the intensity of trade have been reconstructed. The distribution patterns of the sites offer some new data for the basalt working industry in Upper Galilee and the Golan. Additionally, the biblical and extra-biblical sites mentioned in ancient texts have been identified with sites known by archaeological research.

Download or read book Archaeology and the Galilee written by Douglas R. Edwards and published by University of South Florida. This book was released on 1997 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speculating from the surviving evidence, it was during excavations at Sepphoris in the summer of 1993, doubtless while sweating in the afternoon sun, chewing gritty dirt, and flexing aches in all their limbs, that Edwards and McCollough bethought themselves how much nicer life would be editing a book than digging holes in the dirt. The result is a collection of 16 essays exploring both the region in classical times and the study of it. Among the topics are the spatial management of gender and labor, the clash between literary and archaeological models of provincial Palestine, Jesus and his Galilean context, German scholarship on Rabbinic Judaism, the Zodiac in synagogue decoration, and a second-to-first century BCE fortress and siege complex.

Download or read book The Myth of a Gentile Galilee written by Mark A. Chancey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mapping Galilee in Josephus Luke and John written by John Vonder Bruegge and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of 1st century CE Galilee has become an important subfield within the broader disciplines of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity. In Mapping Galilee, John M. Vonder Bruegge examines how Galilee is portrayed, both in ancient writings and current scholarship, as a variously mapped space using insights from critical geography as an evaluative lens. Conventional approaches to Galilee treat it as a static backdrop for a deliberate and dynamic historical drama. By reasserting geography as a creative process rather than a passive description, Vonder Bruegge also reasserts ancient Galilee as an interpreted space—a series of conceptualized "maps"—laden with meaning, significance, and purpose for each individual author.
