The present volume brings together papers by internationally
renowned specialists in Jewish history in the Roman period. Most of
them were read at a conference at Tel Aviv University in 2009 in
honour of Aharon Oppenheimer. The volume focuses on a number of
well-defined key topics in the history of the Jews both in Judea
and in the diaspora: first of all the image of Jews among non-Jews
and of non-Jews among Jews; questions of social and intellectual
history, mostly those dealing with the transformation that took
place as a result of the failed Jewish revolts against Rome and
urgent issues in modern scholarship. Studies to be mentioned here
are: the relationship and cultural differences between Palestinian
and Babylonian Jews; the relationship between Jews and early
Christians; the evolving image of first century Judaism as
projected in the early Christian sources and modern scholarship;
the role of the sages in this period, conversion to Judaism, and
Jewish resistance and martyrdom under Roman rule. Many of the
papers provide a new assessment of the relevant subjects in the
light of changing views of social and religious history. Central to
many of the papers is a focus on attitudes toward others and
collective image: the Jews as seen by others; Jews looking at
others and at internal groups. Another category of articles are
chapters in social and intellectual history with a sensitive and
controversial ideology in the background, some of them providing
provocative re-assessments.
