From Politics to Piety

The book offers a critical analysis of the Pharisees, addressing the lack of systematic examination of the sources that inform our understanding of ancient Judaism and Christianity. It argues that existing narratives often rely on uncritical histories and theories rather than factual evidence. By emphasizing the importance of detailed knowledge and a rigorous approach, the author seeks to enhance comprehension of Pharisaic Judaism prior to 70 A.D., while also questioning the validity of our existing knowledge about that era.
