Turning to the Jesus movement in context of the Greco-Roman world, we find the term ekklesia used as a designation for the meeting of Jesus-followers, recalling the assemblies governing the Greek poleis. Any valid computation of the number of city-states in ancient Greece must carefully exclude the vast mass of small towns - frequently called poleis in our sources - to be found in the large regions of mainland Greece in which the ethnos was the dominant political form: the best study of the ethnos, apparently unknown to Bryant, is still Adalberto Giovannini's superb monograph published in 1971 as number 33 in the Hypomnemata series. |
