Short description:

The book addresses critical issues of the formation and development of Jewish identity in the late Second Temple period. How could Jewish identity be defined? What about the status of women and the image of ?others?? And what about its ongoing influence in early Christianity?

Long description:

The articles discuss various aspects of Jewish identity in the Greco-Roman period. Was there a common ?Jewish? identity, and how could it be defined? How could different groups develop and maintain their identity within the challenge of Hellenistic and early Roman culture? What about the images of ?others?? How could some of those ?others? adopt a Jewish lifestyle or identity, whereas others, abandoned their inherited identity? Among the questions discussed are the translation of Ioudaios, Jewish and universal identity in Philo, the status of women and their conversion to Judaism, the participation of non-Jews in the temple cult, the practice of Emperor worship in Judaea, and the image of Egypt and the Nile as ?others? in Philo. Two articles enter the debate whether Jewish identity had an ongoing influence within early Christianity, in Paul and in the rules known as the Apostolic Decree.

"The essays of this volume are of high quality and provide fresh perspectives...Th e methodology which the authors of these twelve essays use and the questions which they raise also apply to other quests for, and studies of, identity. Th ese essays will provide insights on a number of religious (and other!) issues currently discussed in Southern African churches and communities." ? Christoph Stenschke, in: Religion and Theology 16 (2009)
