Scales, Galilean Spaces of Identity (Brill)

NEW BOOK FROM BRILL:

Galilean Spaces of Identity

Judaism and Spatiality in Hasmonean and Herodian Galilee

Series:
Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism, Volume: 214

Author: Joseph Scales

We understand the world around us in terms of built spaces. Such spaces are shaped by human activity, and in turn, affect how people live. Through an analysis of archaeological and textual evidence from the beginnings of Hasmonean influence in Galilee, until the outbreak of the First Jewish War against Rome, this book explores how Judaism was socially expressed: bodily, communally, and regionally. Within each expression, certain aspects of Jewish identity operate, these being purity conceptions, communal gatherings, and Galilee's relationship with the Hasmoneans, Jerusalem, and the Temple in its final days.
