In an article in JJS LXVIII:2 (Autumn 2017), Peter Tomson took issue with my arguments against the traditional view that the politics of Judaea witnessed an increase in tension between Jews and Gentiles in the 50s CE. In responding to Tomson, this study examines in particular the New Testament texts he cites in support of the traditional view and enquires more generally into the value of the New Testament as evidence for Judaean politics in this period, with a close investigation, in particular, into the significance of Galatians 6:12 and the depiction of Agrippa II in the Acts of the Apostles
