This book examines why in AD 66 a revolt against Rome broke out in
Judaea. It attempts to explain both the rebellion itself and its
temporary success by discussing the role of the Jewish ruling class
in the sixty years preceding the war and within the independent
state which lasted until the destruction of the Temple in AD 70.
The author seeks to show that the ultimate cause of the Revolt was
a misunderstanding by Rome of the status criteria of Jewish
society. The importance of the subject lies both in the
significance of the history of Judaea in this period for the
development of Judaism and early Christianity and in the light shed
on Roman methods of provincial administration in general by an
understanding of why Rome was unable to control a society with
cultural values so different from its own.
