Abstract

The essays in this volume deepen our appreciation for discrete texts and communities as well as for their place within the larger, complex landscape of ancient Judaism. The cumulative effect of these case studies is to paint a rich portrait of ancient Jewish identity in its diverse configurations across time and space. Because of its contribution to numerous debates on the current scholarly agenda, this volume will be essential reading for all scholars of ancient Judaism. (from Conclusion)
