Text and artifact in the religions of Mediterranean antiquity

Description:

North American and European scholars of archaeology and theology explore the issue of how primary religious texts of the ancient Mediterranean world and artifactual evidence can be mutually supportive and illuminating. The essays are divided into those on early Christianity, late-antique Judaism, and the Greco-Roman world at large, and include studies on the placing of Jesus, celibacy and social deviancy in the Roman period, and epigraphic evidence for Jewish defectors.
