| Summary: | The subtitle, ‘Jewish Daily Life in the Time of Jesus’, does not really reflect the contents of Jodi Magness's book, which deals with a relatively small selection of daily life issues only, mostly concerning purity, examined on the basis of Qumran literature, Qumran archaeology, and later rabbinic texts, including the Babylonian Talmud and medieval Midrashim. The author reflects on those issues of daily life which arise from her own excavation work rather than providing a broad and critical overview of ancient Jewish everyday life, as is now available in The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Daily Life in Roman Palestine (ed. C. Hezser, Oxford: OUP, 2010). That said, the book contains some interesting observations in areas that have sometimes been neglected by scholars whose work focuses on texts. |
