{"product_id":"jews-in-a-graeco-roman-world","title":"Jews in a Graeco-Roman World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book contains studies of the social, cultural, and religious history of the Jews in the Graeco-Roman world. Some of the sixteen contributors are specialists in Jewish history, others in classics. They tackle from           different angles the extent to which Jews in this period differed from other peoples in the Mediterranean region,                      and how much Jewish evidence can be used for the history of the wider classical world.                   \n\u003cbr\u003eThe authors make extensive use not only of types of evidence familiar to classicists, such as inscriptions                      and the writing of Josephus, but also Jewish religious\n\u003cbr\u003eliterature, including rabbinic texts. The various studies                  demonstrate that, although Jews lived to some extent apart from others and with distinctive customs, in many ways                 this showed the cultural presuppositions and preoccupations of their gentile contemporaries.                 The book aims to encourage wider use of the Jewish evidence by classicists and will be important for all students of the classical world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44059062829294,"sku":"9780199271399","price":133.53,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199271399.jpg?v=1706228374","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/jews-in-a-graeco-roman-world","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
