The developments in Judaism which occurred during the Second Temple
period (c. 550 BC to 100 AD) were of great importance for the
nature of Jewish religion in later centuries, yet few studies have
examined the era in full. Now Lester L. Grabbe's lucid and
accessible volume provides a much-needed encyclopedic study and
holistic interpretation of the period. Topics examined include: *
views about God and the spirit world * the temple and priesthood *
scripture and synagogue * the main religious sects and
revolutionary movements * eschatology and messianism * magic and
predicting the future * religion in the Jewish diaspora * converts
and 'Godfearers'. With an extensive, up-to-date bibliography, plus
numerous helpful cross-references, summaries and syntheses, this
book is essential reading for scholars and students of the history
of Jewish religion. It will also be of great value as a reference
tool.
