Although the ethnic-religious tradition that became classical
Judaism solidified around 100 CE, its roots are found in the
ancient biblical tales of the Israelites. Stories of the descent
into Egypt, the Exodus under Moses, and the eventual rise of the
Israelite monarchy are essential to understanding classical
rabbinic Judaism. Through the lens of modern biblical scholarship,
Hayes explores the shifting cultural contexts—the Babylonian
exile, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine period, the rise of
Christianity—that affected Jewish thought and practice, and laid
the groundwork for the Talmudic era and its modern legacy. Thematic
chapters explore the evolution of Judaism through its beginnings in
biblical monotheism, the Second Temple Period in Palestine, the
interaction of Hellenism and Judaism, the spread of rabbinic
authority, and the essence of ethno-religious Jewish identity.
Biographical sketches of key figures from patriarchs to prophets,
and primary selections from the Hebrew bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls,
the Talmud, and others, allow for a greater understanding of an
ancient movement, and provide a solid introduction to the origins
of one of the world's most influential religions.
