Description

The History of the Jews within the Greco-Roman World examines Judaism in Palestine during the Hellenistic period, from Alexander the Great’s conquest in 334BC to its capture by the Arabs in AD 636. Under the Greek, Roman and in spite of everything Christian supremacy which Hellenism brought, Judaism developed far beyond its biblical origins into a form which used to be to influence European history from the Middle Ages to the current day. The book focuses particularly at the social, economic and non secular concerns of this period, and the political status of the Jews as both active agents and passive sufferers of history.
The creator provides a straightforward chronological survey of this vital period through analysis and interpretation of the existing sources. With its accessible style and explanation of technical terms, the book provides a useful introduction to students and anybody with an interest in post-biblical Judaism.
