Identity and Territory - Jewish Perceptions of Space in Antiquity (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

Throughout history, the relationship between Jews and their land
has been a vibrant, much-debated topic within the Jewish world and
in international political discourse. Identity and Territory
explores how ancient conceptions of Israel-of both the land itself
and its shifting frontiers and borders-have played a decisive role
in forming national and religious identities across the millennia.
Through the works of Second Temple period Jews and rabbinic
literature, Eyal Ben-Eliyahu examines the role of territorial
status, boundaries, mental maps, and holy sites, drawing
comparisons to popular Jewish and Christian perceptions of space.
Showing how space defines nationhood and how Jewish identity
influences perceptions of space, Ben-Eliyahu uncovers varied
understandings of the land that resonate with contemporary views of
the relationship between territory and ideology.
