| Title: Rural Bandits, City Mobs and the Zealots Secondary Title: JSJ Volume: 21 Pages: 19-40 Type: Journal Article Year: 1990 Abstract: "The relation proposed by R. A. Horsley and J. S. Hanson in Bandits, Prophets, and Messiahs (1985) between the Zealots and "sozial banditry" is not fully supported by the evidence and provides only a partial accounting of the situation. This paper examines their reconstruciton of the Zealot movement in light of the evidence in Josephus and the work of E. Hobsbawm. To understand the Zealot party it is necessary to look at manifestations of discontent not noly among the peasantry in the form of social bandits but also among the urban poor in the form of city mobs". - C.R.M.
