{"product_id":"life-in-year-one-what-the-world-was-like-in-first-century-palestine","title":"Life in Year One: What the World Was Like in First-Century Palestine","description":"For anyone who's ever pondered what everyday life was like during the time of Jesus comes a lively and illuminating portrait of the nearly unknown world of daily life in first-century Palestine.\n\nWhat was it like to live during the time of Jesus?\n\nWhere did people live?\n\nWho did they marry?\n\nAnd what was family life like?\n\nHow did people survive?\n\nThese are just some of the questions that Scott Korb answers in this engaging new book, which explores what everyday life entailed two thousand years ago in first-century Palestine, that tumultuous era when the Roman Empire was at its zenith and a new religion-Christianity-was born.\n\nCulling information from primary sources, scholarly research, and his own travels and observations, Korb explores the nitty-gritty of real life back then-from how people fed, housed, and groomed themselves to how they kept themselves healthy. He guides the contemporary reader through the maze of customs and traditions that dictated life under the numerous groups, tribes, and peoples in the eastern Mediterranean that Rome governed two thousand years ago, and he illuminates the intriguing details of marriage, family life, health, and a host of other aspects of first-century life. The result is a book for everyone, from the armchair traveler to the amateur historian. With surprising revelations about politics and medicine, crime and personal hygiene, this book is smart and accessible popular history at its very best.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1594488991\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1594488991.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Korb, Scott\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43323043840061,"sku":"BVV.1594488991.VG","price":6.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1594488991-0.jpg?v=1783199483","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/life-in-year-one-what-the-world-was-like-in-first-century-palestine","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
