ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; ABBREVIATIONS; Introduction; PART I: THE JEWS OF PALESTINE TO 70 C.E.; PART II: JEWS IN PALESTINE FROM 135 TO 350; PART III: SYNAGOGUE AND COMMUNITY FROM 350 TO 640; Conclusion; SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEX.

Summary: This provocative new history of Palestinian Jewish society in antiquity marks the first comprehensive effort to gauge the effects of imperial domination on this people. Probing more than eight centuries of Persian, Greek, and Roman rule, Seth Schwartz reaches some startling conclusions--foremost among them that the Christianization of the Roman Empire generated the most fundamental features of medieval and modern Jewish life. Schwartz begins by arguing that the distinctiveness of Judaism in the Persian, Hellenistic, and early Roman periods was the product of generally prevailing imperial tolera.
