Description

This comprehensive history examines Palestinian Jewish society across eight centuries of Persian, Greek, and Roman imperial rule. Seth Schwartz traces how imperial domination shaped Jewish life and identity, arguing that the Christianization of the Roman Empire fundamentally influenced medieval and modern Jewish existence. The work begins by exploring how imperial tolerance affected Judaism during the Persian, Hellenistic, and early Roman periods, revealing the distinctive characteristics that emerged under foreign rule. By analysing the interplay between empire and Jewish culture across this expansive timespan, Schwartz presents startling conclusions about the origins of practices and beliefs central to Jewish tradition. Published by Princeton University Press as part of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World series, this scholarly work offers fresh perspectives on how political and religious systems shaped one of history's most enduring civilizations.
