Nine prominent scholars and researchers into rabbinic Judaism and
early Christianity here investigate the literary and archaeological
evidence by which the evolution of the synagogue can be traced.
This research project began as the theme of the Philadelphia
Seminar on Christian origins at the University of Pennsylvania
during the academic year 1993/ 1994, chaired by Howard C. Kee and
Lynn Cohick. In addition to papers presented at the Seminar,
outstanding scholars who have analyzed the relevant literature
and/or the archaeological evidence from ancient synagogue sites
over the early centuries of the Common Era were invited to
contribute essays as well. The various contributions to this volume
are presented in two groupings: (1) those concerned with the
development of the synagogue in the land of ancient Israel and (2)
analyses of the diverse and abundant evidence from synagogues in
the dispersion, especially Syria and Asia Minor. Also included is
an examination of the literary and traditional evidence from
historical, rabbinic, and early Christian sources. In addition to
the editor, contributors include James F. Strange, University of
South Florida; Richard A. Horsley, University of Massachusetts;
Joseph Gutman, Wayne State University; Shaye J. D. Cohen, Brown
University; Marianne Bonz, Harvard Divinity School; Lynn H. Cohick,
Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology; J. Andrew Overman,
Macalester College; and Douglas R. Edwards, University of Puget
Sound. Howard Clark Kee is Aurelio Professor of Biblical Studies
Emeritus at Boston University and Visiting Faculty at the
University of Pennsylvania.
