History & Biography

“This book culminates a distinguished career studying the historical Jesus in Roman Galilee. Freyne guides readers expertly through the most recent archaeological and literary research in a fascinating and highly readable account that exhibits rare insight into the social and political world of Jesus and his earliest followers. . . . Highly recommended.”

The Mandaeans

World Religions

“Edmondo Lupieri's excellent introduction to the Mandaeans both fills an important gap in contemporary historical scholarship on religion and offers an opportunity for a broad audience to become acquainted with this fascinating people and their tradition. Among the most ancient of the world's living religions, the Mandaeans have preserved their tradition through periods of persecution and plenty. Lupieri's well-researched book tells this story and introduces the texts of this tradition in a finely written style.”
