Mark Chancey, Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus

On his Novum Testamentum blog, Brandon Wason draws attention to this BMCR Review:

Mark A. Chancey, Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series, 134; Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006)
Reviewed by Thomas J. Kraus, Hilpoltstein

I was delighted to hear about this second book from Chancey, following hot on the heels of his Myth of a Gentile Galilee, a revised version of his Duke PhD dissertation. A quick visit to the Cambridge University Press website gives one a good amount of information about the book including an excerpt (pp. 1-10 of the book, which breaks off just as you are getting interested, which, I suppose, is the point) and link to a Google Book Search on it:
