RT Book T1 Jews and Christians in the Roman World: from historical method to cases T2 Ancient Judaism and early Christianity JF Ancient Judaism and early Christianity A1 Mason, Steve 1957- LA English PP Leiden Boston PB Brill YR 2023 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1862672814 AB "Roman Judaea, Christian origins, and Roman-Judaean-Christian relations are flourishing fields of endless fascination.

This book argues that a simple but consistent historical method can throw new light - and challenge entrenched views - on such familiar topics as Roman provincial governance, the Jewish War, Flavian politics, Judaea after King Herod, Jewish and Christian historiography, Pharisees and Essenes, John the Baptist, the apostle Paul, and Luke-Acts"-- NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN BM70 SN 9789004545960 K1 Judaism : Relations : Christianity K1 Jews : History : Historiography K1 Jews : Historiography K1 Judaism : Historiography K1 Judaism : Rome : History K1 Christianity : Rome : History K1 Christianity and other religions : Judaism K1 Rome : Religion DO 10.1163/9789004545960
