This study, the companion to Volume 1, continues the history of the
Jewish people to the time when Christianity became independent of
Judaism. The historical study of the life and times of Jesus has
brought a clearer realization of the importance of understanding
post-exilic Judaism. Contents include the historical sources and
literature of the period; the causes and occasion of the Maccabean
uprising; the struggle for religious and political freedom; the
attainment of independence; Judaism in Syria and Egypt; internal
divisions and the growth of parties; the revival of Hellenism; the
Roman period of Jewish history, the last of the Hasmoneans, Herod
the King of the Jews, the inner life of the nation, the final
catastrophe at Masada and glimpses of Judaism in Palestine after
the war and of Judaism in the Dispersion. This comprehensive study
clearly shows the complex background to the present, where both
faiths -- Judaism and Christianity -- continue to work out their
destinies.
