Fiensy's balanced and accessible presentation incorporates information from the Bible and other texts as well as archaeological remains.""

""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.""
