Capernaum

History & Biography

“This volume is of utmost importance for anyone interested in the relationships between Jews, Jewish Christ-followers, and non-Jewish Christians in antiquity. Wally Cirafesi presents a stimulating historical construction of the dynamic socio-religious fabric in Capernaum from the first century to the seventh century CE. He critically examines texts, archaeological evidence, socioeconomic networks, local and non-local elements, and the impact of buildings on their social and spatial setting. He even imagines the interreligious relations in everyday life and brings new insights to Judeo-Christian interactions in the Galilee.”
