Abstract
Aspects of the social stratification of the advanced agrarian society in first-century Palestine This article focuses on aspects of the social stratification of first-century Palestine as an advanced agrarian society. It aims at describing the interaction between different classes and the sociological origins of groups like the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The relation between the elites and the peasant communities is interpreted in terms of, inter alia, the social location of villages surrounding cities. It is argued that in an advanced agrarian society the family as institution should still be regarded as the dominant ideology. However, political and economic pressures caused a weakening of the influence of the extended family on the surface.

Summary
A b stract Aspects of the social stratification of the advanced agra rian society in first-century Palestine. H oewel my ‘sosiologiese’ m odel op daardie stadium in ’n sekere sin as dilettanties besicou kan word, het my oortuiging wat m et betrekking to t ’npaar sake uitgew erk is, ste rk e r gew ord soos my geb ru ik en w aard erin g vir d ie sosiaal-w etenskaplike interpretasie van die Nuwe Testam ent oor die jare toegeneem het. My eie bydrae in hierdie artikel is veral geleë in die wyse w aarop ek die uitdaging van die Nuwe-Testamentikus van Chicago, Carolyn Osiek (1992), ernstig opgeneem het om ook die ideologiese konteks van die eksegeet in ’n sosiaal-w etenskaplike interpretasie van die eerste-eeuse w êreld in ag te neem. H ierdie studie gaan ook nie in op ’n an d er uitdaging wat Carolyn O siek in hierdie verband aan sosiaal-w etenskaplike eksegete tereg stel nie, te wete die aantoon van die raakpunte tussen bevrydingsteologie en die sosiologiese eksegese van die Bybel nie.
