The Maimonides Review of Philosophy and Religion is an annual
collection of double-blind peer-reviewed articles, which seeks to
provide a broad international arena for an intellectual exchange of
ideas between the disciplines of philosophy, theology, religion,
cultural history, and literature and to showcase their multifarious
junctures within the framework of Jewish studies.
The Scholastic Culture of the Babylonian Talmud studies how and in
what cultural context the Talmud began to take shape in the
scholastic centers of rabbinic Babylonia. Bickart tracks the use of
the term tistayem ("let it be promulgated") and its analogs, in
contexts ranging from Amoraic disciple circles to Geonic texts, and
in comparison with literatures of Syriac-speaking Christians. The
study demonstrates increasing academization during the talmudic
period, and supports a gradual model of the Talmud's redaction.

The four kingdoms motif enabled writers of various cultures, times,
and places, to periodize history as the staged succession of
empires barrelling towards an utopian age. The motif provided order
to lived experiences under empire (the present), in view of
ancestral traditions and cultural heritage (the past), and inspired
outlooks assuring hope, deliverance, and restoration (the future).
Four Kingdom Motifs before and beyond the Book of Daniel includes
thirteen essays that explore the reach and redeployment of the
motif in classical and ancient Near Eastern writings, Jewish and
Christian scriptures, texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha
and pseudepigrapha, depictions in European architecture and
cartography, as well as patristic, rabbinic, Islamic, and African
writings from antiquity through the Mediaeval eras.
This is the fourth and fi nal volume of Lester L. Grabbe's
four-volume history of the Second Temple period, collecting all
that is known about the Jews during the period in which they were
ruled by the Roman Empire. Based directly on primary sources such
as archaeology, inscriptions, Jewish literary sources and Greek,
Roman and Christian sources, this study includes analysis of the
Jewish diaspora, mystical and Gnosticism trends, and the
developments in the Temple, the law, and contemporary attitudes
towards Judaism. Spanning from the reign of Herod Archelaus to the
war with Rome and Roman control up to 150 CE, this volume concludes
with Grabbe's holistic perspective on the Jews and Judaism in the
Second Temple Period.
Jewish temples stood in Jerusalem for nearly one thousand years and
were a dominant feature in the life of the ancient Judeans
throughout antiquity. This volume strives to obtain a diachronic
and topical cross-section of central features of the varied aspects
of the Jewish temples that stood in Jerusalem, one that draws on
and incorporates different disciplinary and methodological
viewpoints. Ten contributions are included in this volume by: Gary
A. Anderson; Simeon Chavel; Avraham Faust; Paul M. Joyce; Yuval
Levavi; Risa Levitt; Eyal Regev; Lawrence H. Schiffman; Jeffrey
Stackert; Caroline Waerzeggers, edited by Tova Ganzel and Shalom E.
Holtz.
