| Title: Jérusalem contre Rome Secondary Title: Patrimoines. Judaisme Pages: 554 Type: Book Year: 1990 Abstract: "Based on a thèse d'État defended in 1987, this investigation of how Jews looked on Rome from Maccabean times to the 4th century A.D. first considers the temporal image of Rome in various Jewish sources (including Philo, Josephus, and rabbinic texts) and how Rome affected Jewish life and how a modus vivendi was established. Then it deals with Rome's religious and moral image among Jews: the image of paganism and the biblical heritage, Roman religion according to rabbinic sources and the question of the imperial cult, and the moral image of Rome. Finally it discusses Rome in the perspective of Jewish eschatology: apocalyptic themes before A.D. 70, the role of apocalyptic ideas in the first revolt against Rome, Rome in the late 1st-century A.D. apocalypses, and the rejection of apocalyptic and the "shattered" apocalypse".
