| Summary: | Die Autoren der vorliegenden Studien würdigen Menahem Stern, einen der größten Gelehrten der antiken jüdischen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihr Thema ergibt sich aus der Erkenntnis, dass das jüdische Leben und die jüdische Gesellschaft während der tausendjährigen Zeitspanne von Alexanders Eroberung im vierten Jh. v. Chr. bis zur arabischen Eroberung im siebten Jh. n. Chr. unzählige plötzliche wie auch schrittweise Veränderungen erfahren haben. Das hatte zur Folge, dass sich in der Antike zahlreiche Facetten jüdischen Lebens sowie viele Aspekte jüdischer Identität drastisch gewandelt haben. Die Aufsätze dieses Bandes umfassen politische, soziale, kulturelle und religiöse Sachverhalte in literarischen und archäologischen Quellen.InhaltsübersichtDaniel R.

Its theme stems from the recognition that Jewish life and society in the thousand-year period from Alexander's conquest in the fourth century BCE to the Arab conquest in the seventh century CE underwent countless changes, both sudden and gradual. As a result, numerous facets of Jewish life in antiquity were drastically altered as well as many aspects of Jewish identity. The articles in this volume encompass political, social, cultural and religious issues in both literary and archaeological sources.Survey of contentsDaniel R.
