The Bible after Babel: Historical Criticism in a Postmodern Age – Megan/BSA said the author is a colleague of Joel Baden and the book expresses what Joel talked about in his last lecture about the Hebrew Bible.
Bart Ehrman from here – For anyone who wants the full documentation, I strongly urge you to read the two books by Mark Chancey on Galilee: Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus and The Myth of a Gentile Galilee. The idea that rural Galilee (where Jesus was raised) was thoroughly Hellenized is a myth. (For related issues of literacy, I also recommend highly the most recent and authoritative study, Catherine Hezser’s, Literacy in Roman Palestine.)
Tabor said – The MOST important book to read in dealing with the “historical” Jesus in my view is the two-volume set, edited by David Fiensy and James Riley Strange, Galilee in the Late Second Temple and Mishnaic Periods (1) Life, Culture, and Society and (2) The Archaeological Record.
Tabor – If you have never read this important and influential work I highly recommend it. It will transform your understanding of earliest Christianity and how it unfolded.
