Review: "Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus, the first book-length investigation of this topic, challenges the conventional scholarly view that first-century Galilee was thoroughly Hellenized. Examining architecture, inscriptions, coins, and art from Alexander the Great's conquest until the early fourth century C.E., Mark A. Chancey argues that the extent of Greco-Roman culture in the time of Jesus has often been greatly exaggerated."--Jacket.
