Primary Readings Type: Book Year: 1996 Abstract: "The texts from Greek and Latin literature, the Apocrypha, the NT, the Dead Sea scrolls, Greco-Jewish writers, Roman imperial legislation, the rabbinic corpus, inscriptions, papyri, and coins that are included in this anthology focus on the relations of Jews with their neighbors - governments (especially Rome), the masses, and intellectuals - from the 4th century B.C. to the 6th century A.D. They are arranged under ten headings: the Greeks discover the Jews; the beginnings of Hellenization in Egypt; Jewish life in other countries of the Diaspora; pro-Jewish attitudes by intellectuals; conversion to Judaism; "sympathizers" (God-fearers); the Jews in Palestine; revolts of the Jews against the Roman empire; and criticism and hostility toward Jews. Also included are a glossary of recurring terms, suggested topics for further research, and a general bibliography.
