The present volume contains the proceedings of a conference held in
October 2018 at Humboldt University Berlin. The articles reflect
the different categories of describing Judaism of the Second Temple
Period in view of their sustainability in characterising an ancient
religious community in different historical situations and discuss
relevant (re)constructions of ancient Judaism in the history of
scholarship. Since the Persian period, ancient Judaism existed in a
world which was in constant flux regarding its political, social,
and religious contexts. Consequently, Judaism was subject to
permanent processes of change in its self-perception as well as its
external perception. In all complexity, however, the Torah, the
Temple(s) as a place where heaven meets the earth, and the 'holy'
or 'promised' land as the dwelling place of God's people can be
regarded as institutions to which all kinds of Judaism in the
Babylonian and Egyptian dispora as well in Israel/Palestine were
related in some way or another.
