Reviews

[An] ... interesting, erudite, and distinctive book. * Bruce W. Longenecker, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * N[asrallah] writes as a biblical scholar, writing for biblical students and scholars...Overall, N[asrallah] raises good questions that are rarely asked in the way she does * Thomas W. Davis, Tandy Institute of Archaeology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly * ...this is now the best book I know of on this topic. I expect to use it soon and often in the study and in the classroom, and I would encourage interested others to do likewise. * Matthew V. Novenson, Strata * Recommended. * J.R. Asher, CHOICE *


"An interesting and wide-ranging volume that attempts to bring together work on Pauline epistles and on Greek and Roman archaeology with contributions from recent feminist and post-colonial theory. * BENJAMIN EDSALL, The Classical Review * I recommend the book: it is filled with data and synthesis and will greatly repay academic students of Paul and the New Testament. * James B Prothro, Religious Studies Review * Recommended. * J.R. Asher, CHOICE * There is much more to all the chapters than a review can present. * Carolyn Osiek, Brite Divinity School, Biblical Theology Bulletin * The author's voice is poetic and reflective, making this work delightfully more than a typical ""archaeology book.""...In addition to Nasrallah's erudite presentation of archaeological data, her methodology makes Archaeology of the Letters of Paul recommended and essential reading for people interested in the material and social history of early Christ-beievers. * Jason Borges, Durham University * ...this is now the best book I know of on this topic. I expect to use it soon and often in the study and in the classroom, and I would encourage interested others to do likewise. * Matthew V.
