Opis

The religious life within and around the Roman Empire, and the context into which Christianity emerged and where it spread, was not that of a completely pagan world, for Judaism was already established. Historically, Christianity's relationship with Judaism continued to be intimate but ambivalent long after their separation. This has resulted in distorted scholarly perceptions which remain even today, when the religious history of the period still tends to be written from a Christian perspective.

Recenzje

'... attempts most successfully to restore the Jews to view' - Greece & Rome

'... the book should be warmly recommended. Not the least of its virtues is that almost all the chapters - probably due to their origin as orally presented contributions - are highly informative without being unduly technical. The Jews among pagans and Christians offers historians of the Greco-Roman world a valuable introduction to current debates and controversies on the history of Diaspora Judaism, as well as food for thought on the religious history of the Roman Empire in general' - Mnemosyne, Volume XLIX
