| Summary: | Galilee is to be viewed as a territory distinct from Judaea and the other regions of 'Palestine.' This paper aims at investigating the religious nature of first century Galilee as distinct from other parts of Palestine. An examination of both the topography and the history of Galilee demonstrates its individual character. Galilee had led most of its history independently of Judaea. It was not until the time of the Hasmonaeans (100 BCE) that the religious traditions of Judaea began to dominate those of Galilee. The symbols of temple, land and torah are investigated in order to illustrate the religious sensitivities of Galilee. Finally, attention is given to the Sayings Gospel Q in order to shed further light upon the religious world of its home, Galilee, during the middle of the first century CE. |
