Reviews

Dennis Groh's work has contributed to unsettling the 'received wisdom' on relations between early Judaism and early Christianity: the Palestinian 'stones,' he and other archeologists have argued, suggest a far more complex relation than some earlier scholars imagined. In particular, scholars of late antiquity have learned that the evidence from texts must be weighed in relation to that provided by archeology. As Thomas Longstaff reminds readers in his concluding essay, while history tends to concentrate on the unusual, the 'great,' archeology often reveals more about the everyday. - Prof. Elizabeth Clark Duke University
