During earlier Republican and later Imperial periods, artists painted frescoes on the walls of their patrons' houses. Beginning in the mid-1700s, archaeologists began unearthing brilliantly colored domestic paintings, often of Greek (rarely of Roman) myths and tragedies, especially in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Rome. The author inquires how visual representations seen daily might influence the understanding of Jewish and Christian scriptures read and heard in those same spaces as well as the meaning of rituals performed in domestic worship.

Neubuch / New Copy // Juden und Christen außerhalb Israels lebten in griechischen und römischen Häusern und Wohnhäusern. Während früher republikanischer und später kaiserzeitlicher Epochen malten Künstler Fresken an die Wände ihrer Herrenhäuser. David Balch untersucht, wie visuelle Darstellungen das Verständnis häuslicher Rituale sowie jüdischer und christlicher Schriften, die an diesen Orten gelesen und gehört wurden, beeinflußt haben könnten. Des weiteren untersucht der Autor die römische Architektur und gewinnt damit neue Einsichten in die Sozialgeschichte des frühen Christentums.
