This fourth volume of The Cambridge History of Judaism covers the
period from 70 CE to 640 CE (the rise of Islam). It deals with the
major historical, political and cultural developments in Jewish
history and the history of Judaism in this crucial era during which
Judaism took on its classical shape. It provides discussion and
analysis of all the essential subjects pertinent to an
understanding of this period, and is especially strong in its
coverage of the growth and development of rabbinic Judaism and of
the major classical rabbinic sources such as the Mishnah, Jerusalem
Talmud, Babylonian Talmud and various Midrashic collections. In
addition, it surveys the early encounter of Judaism and
Christianity from both the Jewish and Christian sides and describes
the rise of Jewish mystical literature, the liturgical literature
of the developing synagogue, the nature of magical practices in
classical Judaism and Jewish Folklore.
