Orientation to the History of Roman Judaea

More about the book

The history of Roman-era Judaea is marked by dynamic reinterpretations of religious texts and archaeological findings, challenging conventional views on Judaism and its relationship with Roman power. Key questions arise about the nature of Judaism, the identity of Jews and early Christians, and the implications of discoveries at Qumran. The debate extends to terminology, such as whether to use "Jews" or "Judaeans" in translations. This period invites a reevaluation of the complexities surrounding religious identity and cultural interactions.
