RT Book T1 Josephus and the theologies of ancient Judaism A1 Klawans, Jonathan LA English PP Oxford PB Oxford University Press YR 2013 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1656715880 AB Jonathan Klawans' 'Josephus and the Theologies of Ancient Judaism' cuts against the grain of rabbinic studies to establish the value of Flavius Josephus' descriptions of the religious ideas of various Jewish sects for reconstructing the world of ideas (the theologies) at play in early Judaism. It is intended as a response to the prevalent approach to the study of early Judaism, which focuses on legal or halakhic issues rather than matters of religious belief.
