In Greek and Roman times, Galilee was a remote and little-known district. Its inhabitants met with suspicion and even contempt in far-away Jerusalem. Yet it was from Galilee that a unique historical and spiritual movement originated with Jesus and his disciples.Sen Freyne here provides a detailed picture of Galilean life in the period prior to and spanning the genesis of Christianity.
