In this inaugural book series spotlight, we sit down with K. C. Hanson and Douglas E. Oakman, series editors of Matrix: The Bible in Mediterranean Context.

K. C. Hanson is editor-in-chief at Wipf and Stock and the author and editor of many books, including Palestine in the Time of Jesus: Social Structures and Social Conflicts (2008, co-authored with Douglas E. Oakman).

Douglas E. Oakman is Emeritus Professor of Religion at Pacific Lutheran University and the author of several Cascade titles, including Matrix series volumes, Jesus and the Peasants (2008) and The Radical Jesus, the Bible, and the Great Transformation (2021).
