This volume offers a systematic approach to the Persian, Ptolemaic,
Seleucid and Hasmonean period, correlating social contexts with the
biblical and post-biblical literature that each period generated.
The list of contributors includes many of the pioneers of the field
of Second Temple sociology, including Kenneth Hoglund, John Wright,
Lester Grabbe, Richard Horsley, James Pasto, Robert Doran and the
editors. The volume, which also includes an introductory essay on
the methods and outcomes of this kind of exercise, furnishes an
excellent introduction to the agenda of interpreting biblical texts
as social products. >
