Building Jewish In The Roman East

"Archaeology has unearthed the glories of ancient Jewish buildings throughout the Mediterranean, but what has remained shrouded is what these buildings meant. Building Jewish sheds fresh light by surveying the architecture of small rural villages in Galilee in the early Roman period before examining the development of synagogues as "Jewish associations." Building Jewish also explores Jerusalem's flurry of construction under Herod the Great in the first century BCE. Richardson's work documents the culture that forms the background to any study of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity and demonstrates how architecture itself, like a text, conveys meaning."--BOOK JACKET.
