This text focuses on the legal status of the Jews within the Roman
Empire and the changes that this underwent when the empire became
Christian. Conflicts between Roman and Jewish jurisdiction form an
important theme, while particular studies deal with questions of
conversion, the observance of the Sabbath and Festivals, Hadrian's
decree prohibiting circumcision, and with the treatment given to
the Samaritans. In the field of family law, Profesor Rabello looks
at issues to do with the patria potestas, family courts, marriage
and divorce, and it is in these areas, he would hold, that a basic
understanding can be found of how the early Catholic Church treated
Jews and Judaism.
