In this controversial book, the authors show how the Roman-Jewish
wars were precipitated partly by Jewish demographic and religious
expansion and by conflict with the Greeks and their culture. They
argue that the trauma and humiliation of defeat, stimulated Jewish
cultural growth, particularly in Hebrew, during and after the wars.
This culture was an implicit rejection of Graeco-Roman civilization
and values in favour of a more exclusivist religious cultural
nationalism. This form of nationalism, though unique in the ancient
world, anticipates more recent cultural national movements of
defeated peoples.
