Capernaum : Jews and Christians in the Ancient Village from the Time of Jesus to the Emergence of Islam

Cirafesi, Wally LU (2024)
Abstract
In this book, I explore the history of Jews and Christians in ancient Capernaum from the time of Jesus to the Byzantine-Islamic transition in Palestine. The book investigates diachronically and contextually the dynamics of social change at work in the village through study of both literary and archaeological data. It explores how a predominately Jewish village in the first century gradually transformed in later centuries into an important site of Christian memory and imagination. It also considers the Christianization of Capernaum within the larger political context of Byzantine imperialism, and seeks to understand how the colonization of Palestine impacted Jewish – Christian interaction locally in later phases in the village's history.
