Jesus and the Rise of Nationalism: A New Quest for the Nineteenth-Century Historical Jesus
Modern studies of the historical Jesus take their primary cues from the great pioneering works of nineteenth-century European scholars, often interpreted through the lens of Albert Schweitzer's scathing 1906 summary, The Quest of the Historical Jesus (translated from Geschichte der Leben-Jesu-Forschung). Much of the enduring value of that period's works for the biblical studies guild derives from the ways in which they moved source-critical quest…

The Bible, the First Amendment, and the Public Schools in Odessa, Texas
Bible courses in public schools are receiving a level of attention not witnessed in decades, and their increased numbers create greater potential for local conflicts and lawsuits over whether they promote religion and violate the First Amendment. Such courses are relatively understudied, and their contents and the paths by which schools decide to offer them are largely unknown. One district that has experienced both conflict and lawsuit over its …

The Myth of a Gentile Galilee
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 h…
The Cultural Milieu of Ancient Sepphoris
Recent New Testament scholarship has rightly emphasized the significance of urban features at Sepphoris for gospels and Historical Jesus research. However, some of these studies have greatly exaggerated the quantity of evidence for Greco-Roman influence in the first-century city. Most of the architectural features associated with the Greco-Roman city are missing, evidence for use of Greek is minimal, and signs of pagans are rare. In light of this…
