Most of them were read at a conference at Tel Aviv University in 2009 in honour of Aharon Oppenheimer. The volume focuses on a number of well-defined key topics in the history of the Jews both in Judea and in the diaspora: first of all the image of Jews among non-Jews and of non-Jews among Jews; questions of social and intellectual history, mostly those dealing with the transformation that took place as a result of the failed Jewish revolts against Rome and urgent issues in modern scholarship.Studies to be mentioned here are: the relationship and cultural differences between Palestinian and Babylonian Jews; the relationship between Jews and early Christians; the evolving image of first century Judaism as projected in the early Christian sources and modern scholarship; the role of the sages in this period, conversion to Judaism, and Jewish resistance and martyrdom under Roman rule.Many of the papers provide a new assessment of the relevant subjects in the light of changing views of social and religious history. Central to many of the papers is a focus on attitudes toward others and collective image: the Jews as seen by others; Jews looking at others and at internal groups. Another category of articles are chapters in social and intellectual history with a sensitive and controversial ideology in the background, some of them providing provocative re-assessments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Isaac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3161516974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783161516979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohr Siebeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Benjamin Isaac","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113820664063,"sku":"9783161516979","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c2d9e8a-e4ba-47e7-bae5-9ebdcffc13d3.jpg?v=1769617436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/judaea-palaestina-babylon-and-rome-benjamin-isaac-9783161516979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
