An introduction to Second Temple Judaism : history and religion of the Jews in the time of Nehemiah, the Maccabees, Hillel and Jesus

---

This book is an introduction to Judaism of the Second Temple period. That is, it covers the time beginning in the Persian period and ending with the fall of the temple (539 bce–70 ce), though I find it helpful to go as late as the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–35 ce). I have already given a detailed history of the Judaism of the period in Judaism from Cyrus to Hadrian (1992) and the four-volume work, History of the Jews and Judaism in the Second Temple Period (vol. 1 [2004], vol. 2 [2008], and vols 3–4 [in preparation]), so what I am doing in this much briefer study is to try to introduce the beginner – the student, the educated lay person, the non-specialist – to the subject. As the title of the present book indicates, I focus on the first century bce and ce. (It is the convention now among scholars of early Judaism to use the abbreviations ce and bce when giving dates. They stand for ‘Common Era’ [ce] and ‘Before the Common Era’ [bce], being equivalent to ad and bc.) However, I do not limit myself to those two centuries since a complete understanding of them requires a general knowledge of the preceding several centuries.
