Description

This third edition of Shaye J. D. Cohen's seminal work provides a comprehensive understanding of Judaism between 164 BCE and 300 CE. By synthesizing religion, literature, and history, Cohen offers insight into the nature of Judaism during this pivotal period.

The book explores the relationship between Jews and Gentiles, the role of Jewish religion in the community, and the development of normative Judaism and other Jewish sects. A new chapter on the parting of ways between Jews and Christians in the second century CE adds depth to the narrative.

This clear introduction to a formative period in Jewish history provides context for early Christianity and remains an essential resource for understanding the era that shaped Judaism.
