The religious life within and around the Roman Empire, and the
context into which Christianity emerged and where it spread,
provides a topic of the widest interest. Yet this context was not
that of a completely pagan world, for Judaism was already firmly
established and continued as a vigorous contender in the field
throughout the first four centuries after the death of Christ - a
fact not always well recognized. Historically, Christianity's
relationship with Judaism continued to be intimate but ambivalent
long after their separation. This has distorted scholarly
perceptions right down to our own day, when the religious history
of the period still tends to be written from a Christianizing
perspective. The suggestion of this book is that we can and should
reassess, from a more neutral position, how the competition between
these three religions influenced the development of each of them.
"The Jews Among Pagans and Christians" offers a model of this
complex area by drawing on a variety of types of material and
method. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers
of classics, ancient history, Jewish studies, theology and
religious studies.
