Through careful analysis of sources, especially Josephus, Horsley explicates the deep divisions between rulers and the ruled, emphasizing the role of Galilean peasants in uprisings that would eventually culminate in the Great Revolt against Rome. Rich in historical detail, Galileans under Jerusalem and Roman Rule offers readers a nuanced understanding of the social and political dynamics that shaped this pivotal region, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, politics, and resistance in ancient Palestine.
