Note:We often forget how much life has changes since the industrial revolution. In our world, 98% are literate. In Jesus world, 98% were not. It was a world inhabitated by peasant farmers, city artisans, rich patrons, desperate widows, social bandits, absentee landowners and corupt judges. In these lectures we will look at the concepts of honor and shame, peasant economics, kinship and family patterns, social banditry and life in the cities and villages of the Mediterranean world. The lectures thus will offer an introduction to the new field of Social-Scientific Criticism.
