“Future discussions of Galilean economy and migration in these periods will have to deal with Lapp’s argument. . . . The book certainly belongs in university library stacks, but its cost makes it accessible to individuals as well. Hence it must find its way into personal libraries not only of archaeologists and lychnologists but also of scholars of Second Temple and formative Judaism, early Christianity, and the eastern limits of the Roman Republic and Empire—let us say Palestine in the Roman through Byzantine periods, straying into the early Islamic period.”—James Riley Strange Review of Biblical Literature
