Summary
This investigation of Galilee during the time of Jesus demonstrates that, contrary to the perceptions of many scholars, the overwhelming majority of Galilee's population were Jews. It is the only book-length treatment of this subject and is the fullest synthesis available of archaeological and literary evidence for first-century CE Galilee.
