This conference was part of the annual series of the Clifton Batchelder Conference for Biblical Archaeology and the Bethsaida Excavations Project.The conference was structured so that text scholars and material-culture scholars were able to interact and influence one another. This interdisciplinary approach created a unique, productive atmosphere where scholars who come from different disciplines were able to share and exchange ideas in ways that seldom happen in our increasingly specialized academic world. Thus, scholars from three major disciplines?Greek philosophy, biblical studies, and archaeology?produced lectures and papers on urbanism in the ancient world that reflect multihued perspectives that draw on the specialties of each contributor.Few conferences on urbanism engage in an interdisciplinary approach, and few deal with the questions raised in this book; even fewer are published and see the light of day. In this volume, we are pleased to be able to share a fine collection of essays from the conference with the larger community of people interested in the ancient world. 606 $aRELIGION$xBiblical Reference$xHandbooks 606 $aRELIGION$xBiblical Reference$xGeneral 606 $aBIBLES$xGeneral 607 $aMiddle East$xAntiquities 615 0$aRELIGION$xBiblical Reference$xHandbooks. 615 0$aRELIGION$xBiblical Reference$xGeneral. 615 0$aBIBLES$xGeneral. 676 $a220.8/30776 700 $aArav$b Rami$0487970 701 $aArav$b Rami$0487970 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781312303321 996 $aCities Through the Looking Glass$93672422 997 $aUNINA
