Question
Hi
What can you tell me about the social stratification of the New Testament Times?

Thanks very much!

Answer
Elaine,

This question is a bit too broad for me to handle. I suggest you read the book "Manners and Customs in the Bible" by Victor H. Matthews (Hendrickson Publishers, Peabody, Massachusetts, 01961-3475).
