Description

The T&T Clark Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism Volume Two provides a comprehensive reference resource for scholars and students interested in Judaism of the Second Temple Period. Spanning over 600 scholarly articles, this two-volume work offers a detailed exploration of the subject. The encyclopedia is divided into four parts, beginning with an introduction that sets the discipline within its broader context. Part One discusses terminology and suggests ways to describe the Second Temple period, while also highlighting areas of study that challenge our understanding of ancient Judaism. The subsequent sections present an overview of historical chronology, tracing the development of social, political, and religious developments from the late 6th century B.C.E. through to the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 C.E. Part Three focuses on primary-source literature of Second Temple Judaism, summarizing key texts and examining their similarities and differences with other texts of the period. The work also considers the early reception history of these texts, as well as providing a bibliography for each essay.
