"Galit Hasan-Rokem shows that religion is shaped not only in the halls of theological disputation and institutions of divine study, but also by the ordinary events of everyday life. Common aspects of human relations were a major source of symbols for the religious texts and rituals of Late Antique Judaism, as well as for those of its partner in narrative dialogues, early Christianity, Hasan-Rokem argues.
Focusing on the "neighborhood" of the Galilee, where many major religious and cultural developments originated, this book brings to life the riddles, parables, and folktales passed down in Rabbinic stories from the first half of the first millennium of the Common Era."--BOOK JACKET.
