I have a book in my to-read pile called "Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict" that apparently takes a look at the political situation that the historical Jesus would have found himself in through a historical materialist lens. The authors were on Rev Left a while back, which is where I first heard of it. I haven't been able to read it yet, so I can't personally vouch for it but based on that episode it seems pretty solid.

Figured I'd drop the title in case anyone was interested
