Short description:

These collected studies, previously published in diverse places between 1990 and 2006, discuss important and controversial issues in the study of the development of Judaism in the Roman world from the first century C.E. to the fifth.

Long description:

Judaism in the Roman World deals with the religious lives of Jews in the Roman world from late Second Temple times to the Later Roman Empire.
***
The studies collected here analyse a series of issues important in the development of Judaism in this period: the role of the Temple and pilgrimage in the first century CE; the attitude of Jews to the physical texts of the Torah and to the scribes who produced them; the extent of variety and change within Judaism before and after 70 CE and the nature of the evidence for particular types of Judaism; the role of synagogues and images in Jewish worship; and relations between Jews and Christians in the early centuries.
***
This book should be particularly useful to students of ancient Judaism and those interested in Christian origins.

"Let it be said right away: if you want to avoid changing your lecture notes, do not read this book! Martin Goodman, Professor of Jewish Studies at Oxford University, is an acclaimed scholar in both Roman and Jewish studies, and with good reason.... Though I, like probably many others, only reluctantly change my lecture notes, I find myself greatly enriched by having read this volume....for anyone occupied with the late Second Temple period, Goodman?s volume is a must read." ? Morten H?rning Jensen, in: Bulletin for Biblical Research 19/4 (2010)
"Judaism in the Roman World brings together a series of relatively short papers, all with important conclusions..." ? René Bloch, University of Bern, in: The Studia Philonica Annual 22 (2010)
