The period of Early Judaism beginning with the return from the
Babylonian Exile in 538 B.C.E. to the destruction of the second
temple in 70 C.E. is an enigma to many students of the Hebrew Bible
and the New Testament. This era has often been overlooked as
unimportant or been the victim of strongly confessional
overgeneralizations. Christians have often touted the absolute
uniqueness of their faith as something that replaced a jaded,
outmoded Jewish religion. Jews, on the other hand, have often
tended to identify Christianity as something entirely unique, a
phenomenon totally unrelated to Judaism. However, the Second Temple
period was one of the most prolific and creative in all of Israel's
history. It was a time of unparalleled literary and theological
diversity that gave rise to the powerful religious movements of
Rabbinic Judaism and Early Christianity. The Internal
Diversification of Second Temple Judaism provides a broad overview
of the history, constituent communities, and theological
innovations of the Second Temple period.
An introduction to the Old Testament that examines the interplay
