This volume sheds light on how particular constructions of the
'Other' contributed to an ongoing process of defining what 'Israel'
or an 'Israelite' was, or was supposed to be in literature taken to
be authoritative in the late Persian and Early Hellenistic periods.
It asks, who is an insider and who an outsider? Are boundaries
permeable? Are there different ideas expressed within individual
books? What about constructions of the (partial) 'Other' from
inside, e.g., women, people whose body did not fit social
constructions of normalness? It includes chapters dealing with
theoretical issues and case studies, and addresses similar issues
from the perspective of groups in the late Second Temple period so
as to shed light on processes of continuity and discontinuity on
these matters. Preliminary forms of five of the contributions were
presented in Thessaloniki in 2011 in the research programme,
'Production and Reception of Authoritative Books in the Persian and
Hellenistic Period,' at the Annual Meeting of European Association
of Biblical Studies (EABS).
