Given the recent interest in the emotions presupposed in early
religious literature, it has been thought useful to examine in this
volume how the Jews and early Christians expressed their feelings
within the prayers recorded in some of their literature.
Specialists in their fields from academic institutions around the
world have analysed important texts relating to this overall theme
and to what is revealed with regard to such diverse topics as
relations with God, exegesis, education, prophecy, linguistic
expression, feminism, happiness, grief, cult, suicide, non-Jews,
Hellenism, Qumran and Jerusalem. The texts discussed are in Greek,
Hebrew and Aramaic and are important for a scientific understanding
of how Rabbinic Judaism and Early Christianity developed their
approaches to worship, to the construction of their theology and to
the feelings that lay behind their religious ideas and practices.
The articles contribute significantly to an historical
understanding of how Jews maintained their earlier traditions but
also came to terms with the ideology of the dominant Hellenistic
culture that surrounded them.
