Jeff S. Anderson

The Internal Diversification of Second Temple Judaism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The period of Early Judaism beginning with the return from the Babylonian Exile in 538 B.C.E. to the destruction of the second temple in 70 C.E. is an enigma to many students of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. This era has often been overlooked as unimportant or been the victim of strongly confessional overgeneralizations.
