This book explores how Judaism shaped the spaces of ancient Galilee, and how in turn, these spaces generated further expressions of Judaism. Evidence is drawn from the beginnings of Hasmonean influence in Galilee, until the outbreak of the Great Revolt.
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.
