| Title: Middle Judaism. Jewish Thougt 300 B.C.E. to 200 C.E. Type: Book Year: 1991 Abstract: "Boccaccini, researcher in the department of oriental studies at the University of Turin, first explains the designation "Middle Judaism" (Judaism [and Christianities] between the 3rd century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D.) and provides an annotated bibliographic survey of its study from Josephus to 1990. Then he shows how a history of Middle Judaism should be written with respect to some specific works: Ben Sira, Qohelet, and apocalyptic; Daniel and 1 Enoch 83-90; and Letter of Aristeas. Finally he presents research on the following topics: Philo of Alexandria (a Judaism in philosophical categories); James, Paul (and Jesus) - early Christianity and early Christianities; the memorial value of worship in Middle Judaism; Flavius Josephus (the betrayed memory); and boundless salvation (Jews and Gentiles in Middle Judaism)".
