Sean Freyne's "Galilee, Jesus and The Gospels"

From the Paper:

"This study will provide a general summary of Sean Freyne's "Galilee, Jesus and The Gospels" : Literary Approaches and Historical Investigations, and will then summarize the book's strongest and weakest points and arguments.

The most important idea presented by Freyne is that studies of Jesus prior to his work have failed to consider the importance of the fact that he was a Galilean: "It is against the background of this neglect of Galilee by both historians and theologians in their discussion of Jesus that the present study attempts to integrate questions of social identity and theological reflection. We shall be attempting (to describe) . . . the social and religious world of first-century Galilee, as well as Jesus' role in that setting, and investigating how much a picture coheres with his identity as this emerges . . .
