This is an accessible and up-to-date account of the Jews during the
millennium following Alexander the Great's conquest of the East.
Unusually, it acknowledges the problems involved in constructing a
narrative from fragmentary yet complex evidence and is, implicitly,
an exploration of how this might be accomplished. Moreover, unlike
most other introductions to the subject, it concentrates primarily
on the people rather than issues of theology and adopts a
resolutely unsentimental approach to the subject. Professor
Schwartz particularly demonstrates the importance of studying
Jewish history, texts and artefacts to the broader community of
ancient historians because of what they can contribute to wider
themes such as Roman imperialism. The book serves as an excellent
introduction for students and scholars of Jewish history and of
ancient history.
