Abstract: "This introduction to Second Temple Judaism first considers general issues (between the Testaments, eternal influences, the historical period) and deals with the Persian period, the languages, the sources, and the literature (themes and functions). Then it treats the Hellenistic-Roman period (332 B.C. to A.D. 70); God, word, and God's people; and groups currents, and tendencies. Maier is professor of Jewish studies and director of the Martin-Buber Institut at the University of Köln. The Italian version of this book was described in NTA 36, p. 449".
