| Title: Judaism. Practice and Belief 63 BCE - 66 CE Type: Generic Year: 1992 Abstract: "After establishing the context of Judaism in the early Roman period (issues, historical outline, conflict), this volume discusses various aspects of the ""common Judaism"" of the period: the Temple, ordinary priests and Levites, sacrifices, the common people (daily life and annual festivals), tithes and taxes, priests and Levites outside the Temple, observing God' s Law (general characteristics, worship and Sabbath, circumcision, purity, food, charity and love), common theology, and hopes for the future. Then it deals with groups and parties: aristocrats and Sadducees, the Essenes and the Dead Sea sect (origins, history, membership and organization, practice and belief), the Pharisees (history, theology and practice), other pietists, and woho ran what. Sanders is professor of arts and sciences in religion at Duke University in Durham, NC." Keywords: Cultural and Religious History of Ancient Judaism |
