Jewish Life and Thought among Greeks and Romans: Primary Readings
This comprehensive treasury of sources on
Judaism in the ancient period will be valued
and used by students, scholars, and general
readers who are interested in Jewish
history, classical studies, or the origins
of Christianity.
Two of the world's leading authorities on the classical period bring together an amazing variety of ancient sources in an accessible and interesting way. Included are helpful introductions, a glossary, maps, illustrations, and other aids for reading and research.
This book includes the most comprehensive coverage available of sources in the area of anti-Semitism and (what is usually more neglected) philo-Semitism. It coordinates literacy, epigraphical, papyrological, and numismatic evidence.
