The Village in Antiquity and the Rise of Early Christianity

By Alan Cadwallader, James R. Harrison, Angela Standhartinger & L. L. Welborn

  • Release Date: 2023-12-28
  • Genre: Bible Studies

A complete geographical and thematic overview of the village in an antiquity and its role in the rise of Christianity. The volume begins with a "state-of-question" introduction by Thomas Robinson, assessing the interrelation of the village and city with the rise of early Christianity. Alan Cadwallader then articulates a methodology for future New Testament studies on this topic, employing a series of case studies to illustrate the methodological issues raised.

From there contributors explore three areas of village life in different geographical areas, by means of a series of studies, written by experts in each discipline. They discuss the ancient near east (Egypt and Israel), mainland and Isthmian Greece, Asia Minor, and the Italian Peninsula. This geographic focus sheds light upon the villages associated with the biblical cities (Israel; Corinth; Galatia; Ephesus; Philippi; Thessalonica; Rome), including potential insights into the rural nature of the churches located there.

A final section of thematic studies explores central issues of local village life (indigenous and imperial cults, funerary culture, and agricultural and economic life).
