Have you ever wondered what it was like to live in the past? Did they experience reality in a much different way than we do now with our media, our fast travel, our fast food, and our leisure? Do you especially think about what it might have been like to have lived in Bible times? What would your childhood have been like? How would you have chosen a marriage partner? How would you probably have made a living? What sort of house would you have lived in? What diseases would have threatened your daily existence? How long would you have lived? How would you have practiced your religion? These are a few of the intriguing questions answered by this study. The book takes you on a journey into the past to view daily life through the lenses of not only texts but archaeological finds. The information from the past is also filtered through ethnographic studies of more contemporaneous, yet traditional, societies in the Middle East. The result is a presentation that may surprise you-even shock you-at times, but always will interest you.

"in this engaging book, david fiensy provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the people of ancient israel in the time of jesus, ranging from diet, dress, and dwellings to marriage, family dynamics, and occupations to diseases, mortality, and the disposal of the dead. fiensy's balanced and accessible presentation incorporates information from the bible and other texts as well as archaeological remains."

-jodi magness, university of north carolina at chapel hill


"the more our life becomes modern and digitalized, the more daily life during the time of jesus becomes strange and unimaginable for bible readers. fiensy asks twelve very general questions about the normal course of life and presents twelve competent answers based mostly on archaeological finds summarizing the present state of knowledge. this book is a very important contribution to understand the world of jesus much better."

-wolfgang zwickel, johannes gutenberg university of mainz


"The Archaeology of Daily Life is a detailed yet accessible account of how ordinary people lived during New Testament times. It readily captures the reader's imagination and allows her or him to envision the significance of the Jesus movement in the world in which it unfolded. Student and scholar alike will appreciate the engaging writing style, wealth of documentation, and constant interaction with the biblical text."

-david j. fuller, mcmaster divinity college press
