The Language Environment of First Century Judaea - Jerusalem Studies in the Synoptic Gospels--Volume Two

The Language Environment of First Century Judea challenges the long-held assumption of New Testament scholarship that only two languages, Aramaic and Greek, were in common use in the land of Israel in the first century. Hebrew should now be moved out of its restricted, marginal status within first-century language use and the impact on New Testament studies.
