Reviews

An engaging and diverse set of essays tackling difficult issues of ethnicity, nationality, and power in early Second Temple times. <p>--Gerald N. Knoppers, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, Religious Studies, and Jewish Studies, Penn State University

I enjoyed reading this thoughtful and thought-provoking volume. It brings to the forefront numerous issues that deserve much attention among those interested in questions of ancient Israelite historiography, social memory, identity formation during the Persian and Hellenistic period . The variety of approaches exemplified in the volume enhances its usefulness and invites further reflection. Highly recommended.
