Jews, Judaism and the Classical World

The studies presented in this book cover the timespan between the Hasmoneans and the earliest Roman intervention in the Land of Israel – that is, from the second and first pre-Christian centuries and until the third and fourth centuries of the present era. Most of the questions raised in this study originate within the inner world of Judaism and Jewish law (Halakha). However, these issues are examined in relation to other factors as well, such as Jewish Hellenistic literature, early Christian traditions, and classical culture as a whole.
