"Barclay's study corrects the traditional oversight that would
equate early Judaism with Palestinian Judaism. This highly readable
introduction . . . brings together material that is otherwise
available only in regional studies or highly technical works.
Barclay strikes a rare balance between local conditions and broad
issues, and between supporting detail and coherent argument. It is
hard to imagine how the chronic need for a synthesis of the
Mediterranean Diaspora might have been better satisfied."--Steve
Mason, Pennsylvania State University
"The book reflects the best of contemporary scholarship and is
likely to become an indispensable source of information and
reflection on the problems Jews encountered with living in a
frequently hostile environment."--A. P. Hayman, Edinburgh
University
"This is a superb book which has lifted our discussion of Jews
in the Diaspora to a new plane. Since understanding the Diaspora is
vital to comprehending a good deal about early Christianity,
Barclay has also made a significant contribution to this latter
field of investigation."--Paul Trebilco, University of Otago
