The T&T Clark Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism provides a
comprehensive reference resource of over 600 scholarly articles
aimed at those studying Judaism in the Second Temple Period, and
the numerous texts and artefacts related to it. The work is split
into four parts across two volumes. Part One locates the discipline
in relation to other relevant fields (for example the Hebrew Bible,
Rabbinics, Christian Origins) and provides an orientation to the
discipline's distinctive nomenclatures and debates. The history of
research in the area is also presented in full. Part Two presents
an overview of respective contexts of the discipline set within the
broad framework of historical chronology. Social/cultural,
literary, linguistic, geographical, political, and religious
contexts are all explained, from the time period of the conquests
of Alexander the Great (332 B.C.E.) through to the reign of Hadrian
(135 C.E.). Part Three focuses specifically on the literature of
the Second Temple period, summarizing the content of key texts, and
examining their similarities and differences with other texts of
the period. This section includes surveys of scholarship on date,
provenance, location, language(s), and interpretative issues. The
reception history of texts is considered. Part Four addresses
topics, specifically those relevant to Second Temple literature
such as places, practices, historical figures and artefacts. The
volumes include 14 specially created color maps and over 60 charts
and illustrations.
