What does economics have to do with Christian origins? Why study such a connection? First of all, the New Testament makes many direct references to economic issues. But, second of all, the economy affects every other aspect of life (family, religion, community, work, health, and politics). How prosperous was first-century Galilee?

This volume seeks to guide readers through some of the most controversial issues raised in the last twenty years on this important topic.
