This book brings together leading experts in the field of ancient
synagogue studies to discuss the current issues and emerging trends
in the study of synagogues in ancient Palestine. Divided into four
thematic units, the different contributions apply archaeological,
textual, historical and art historical methodologies to questions
related to ancient synagogues. Part One addresses issues related to
the origins and early development of synagogues up to 200 CE. The
contributions provide different explanations to the alleged lack of
evidence for synagogues built in the second and third centuries CE
and ask how much continuity or change there is between the late
Second Temple and late Roman/early Byzantine synagogues. Part Two
deals with architecture and dating of ancient synagogues. It gives
an overview of all synagogues found so far, approaches the dating
of Galilean synagogues in the light of the recently-exposed
synagogue at Huqoq, and provides a stylistic re-evaluation of the
Capernaum synagogue decoration.Articles in Part Three examine
leadership, power and daily life in local synagogue communities by
illustrating issues such as non-monumental inscriptions, priests,
meals, public debates, religious competition, and the existence of
house-synagogues. Part Four contextualizes synagogue art. An
overview of synagogue art in late antique Palestine is complemented
with reinterpretations of the mosaics in the Japhi?a and Beth Alpha
synagogues and a discussion of the appearance of the Menorah in
late antique Jewish art.
