There is also:
Bruce J. Malina, Richard L. Rohrbaugh, *Social-Science Commentary on the Synoptic Gospels* Augsburg Fortress Publishers.
I believe it is currently out of print; however, a University library should have it, if they teach synoptics. It found it a helpful, though sometimes repetitive, treatment of the Synoptics.
