This book contains studies of the social, cultural, and religious
history of the Jews in the Graeco-Roman world. Some of the sixteen
contributors are specialists in Jewish history, others in classics.
They tackle from different angles the extent to which Jews in this
period differed from other peoples in the Mediterranean region, and
how much Jewish evidence can be used for the history of the wider
classical world. The authors make extensive use not only of types
of evidence familiar to classicists, such as inscriptions and the
writing of Josephus, but also Jewish religious literature,
including rabbinic texts. The various studies demonstrate that,
although Jews lived to some extent apart from others and with
distinctive customs, in many ways this showed the cultural
presuppositions and preoccupations of their gentile contemporaries.
The book aims to encourage wider use of the Jewish evidence by
classicists and will be important for all students of the classical
world.
