Need a search to find resources about life during 1st century Palestiine

I have found the three books by Edersheim and 1 issue of Christian History, but I know there must be many other resources which deal with what life and religion was like for a first century Jew. Aspects of their religion as well as culture, government, etc.

Is there a search I can set up so that I can use to build a collection of these resources? I know that the various Bible Dictionaries have a lot of this information, but I am more interested in entire books which focus on this, though a good search that would yield this information in Bible dictionaries would also be welcome.

You can play around with this some, but I have a "Bible History" collection with a rule

Title:Bible AND Type:Monograph AND Subject:(History, Historical)

if you take out Title:Bible you get a lot of history books of all eras, which you may like; for me, I also then had to remove all the Perseus books that were included (I have them tagged as Perseus).

I hope that gets you started!

Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Example_Collections that includes "Second Temple Judaism" with rule:

(title:(“second temple”, jps, qumran, targum, “dead sea”, “rabbinical”, “ascension of isaiah”) OR subject:(“Judaism—Influence”,targum, “second temple”, qumran, “dead sea”, “rabbinical”, “Palestine—History—To 70 A.D.”, “Jews—History—586 B.C.-70 A.D.”, mishnah, “Philo”, josephus, “Judaism—Encyclopedias”, “ascension of isaiah”, “Jews—History—168 B.C.-135 A.D.”, “Judaism—History—Talmudic period”) OR author:(Josephus, Philo) OR (subject:(apocrypha, pseudepigrapha) AND subject:(“O.T.”, “Old Testament”)) OR mytag:”Second Temple”) ANDNOT author:”Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon”

that has mytag for manually adding more resources.

Noticed "Second Temple + Early Church" collection with rule:

Subj:(Christianity—Origin, Essene, Fathers, Josephus, Mishnah, “Philo”, Talmudic, Tanniam, “To 70”, “30-600”) OR (Subj:Judaism AND Subj:(Encyclopedia, Liturgy, Memory, Messia, Midrash, Monotheism, Origin, Prayer, Rabbi, Tomb)) OR (Subj:History AND Subj:”B.C.” AND Subj:”A.D.”) OR Title:(Graeco, Intertestament, “Jewish Literature”, Pesharim, Scribes, “Second Temple”, Sects) OR (Title:(Day, Time) AND Title:of AND Title:(Jesus, Christ) ANDNOT Subj:Eschatology) OR (Title:JPS AND Title:Wo) OR (Title:As AND Title:Isaiah) OR (Title:Meaning AND Title:Scrolls)

Here was another thread by a person looking for resources to help with "religious climate during first century Rome" and there might be some overlap with what you're looking for:

Thank you all for your help. This ended up being much more difficult (i.e. not as easy) as I had hoped, but at least I can work with these ideas to get where I want to end up.

Thank you.

John,

As far as cultural aspects, there are several Logos resources that may pertain. You may wish to check out the following authors: Vos, Arthur; Freeman, James; Packer, J.I. All three books are on Manners and Customs.

Noticed Subject containing "To 70" has a number of intrguing resources:

Subjects containing "30-600" have many resources to consider:
