{"product_id":"jewish-martyrdom-in-antiquity-yair-furstenberg-9789004538252","title":"Jewish Martyrdom in Antiquity: From the Books of Maccabees to the Babylonian Talmud","description":"This volume offers a comprehensive discussion of all relevant sources concerning Jewish martyrdom in Antiquity. By viewing these narratives together, tracing their development and comparing them to other traditions, the authors seek to explore how Jewish is Jewish martyrdom? To this end, they analyse the impact of the changing social and religious-cultural circumstances and the interactions with Graeco-Roman and Christian traditions. This results in the identification of important continuities and discontinuities. Consequently, while political ideals that are prominent in 2 and 4 Maccabees are remarkably absent from rabbinic sources, the latter reveal a growing awareness of Christian motifs and discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yair Furstenberg, Jan Willem Van Henten, Friedrich Avemarie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004538259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004538252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Yair Furstenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962253136127,"sku":"9789004538252","price":284.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5079d4b3-7634-4318-a905-0c5b51901f99.jpg?v=1750649794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-martyrdom-in-antiquity-yair-furstenberg-9789004538252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
