For scholars and students of Jewish history.

"History of the Jews" fills gaps in Second Temple facts.

You gain deep insights into Jewish identity and culture.

Discover the rich history of the Jews during the Second Temple period in this insightful volume that explores their society, religion, and identity from Alexander's conquest to the Maccabaean revol

This is the volume two in the four-volume history of the "Second Temple" period, looking at the period from Alexander's conquest to the eve of the Maccabaean revolt. This is the second volume of the projected four-volume history of the Second Temple period. It is axiomatic that there are large gaps in the history of the Persian period, but the early Greek period is possibly even less known. This volume brings together all we know about the Jews during the period from Alexander's conquest to the eve of the Maccabaean revolt, including the Jews in Egypt as well as the situation in Judah. Based directly on the primary sources, which are surveyed, the study addresses questions such as administration, society, religion, economy, jurisprudence, Hellenism and Jewish identity. These are discussed in the context of the wider Hellenistic world and its history. A strength of the study is its extensive up-to-date secondary bibliography (approximately one thousand items)."The Library of Second Temple Studies" is a premier book series that offers cutting-edge work for a readership of scholars, teachers, postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates in the field of Second Temple studies.All the many and diverse aspects of Second Temple study are represented and promoted, including innovative work from historical perspectives, studies using social-scientific and literary theory, and developing theological, cultural and contextual approaches.
