Description
A History of the Jews and Judaism in the Second Temple Period, Volume 2 The Coming of the Greeks: The Early Hellenistic Period (335-175 BCE) by Lester L. Grabbe This second volume of a four-volume history series explores the Jewish experience during the early Hellenistic period, from Alexander's conquest to the eve of the Maccabaean revolt. The study delves into the lives of Jews in Egypt and Judah, examining administration, society, religion, economy, jurisprudence, and Hellenism, all within the broader context of the Hellenistic world. Drawing on primary sources and supplemented by extensive secondary bibliography, this work addresses key questions about Jewish identity and the impact of Greek culture on Jewish society. With a focus on the latest research and scholarship, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the Jewish community during this pivotal period.
