This book represents a brilliant portrait of Jewish culture in the first century and contains a fresh evaluation of Jesus' relation to this complex society. Horsley rediscovers the common people" (Jewish peasantry) in the time of Jesus - the masses led by bandit forces, apocalyptic prophets, and messianic leaders - and provides new insights into their significance.
