Reviews

This is the latest in Oxford's 'Essentials of Biblical Studies' series and aims to provide a succinct reconstruction of the history of Judea from 334 BC to AD 135. DeS. aims to look at 'the larger story of the activities and interests on the Seleucid, Ptolemaic, Roman and Parthian empires' which is a tall order for such a short book, and he is to be congratulated on fitting this quart of history into such an accessible pint pot. * John Godwin, Classics for All * DeSilva has produced a most welcome volume that would serve its intended audiences of general readers and students of biblical and ancient history very well. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * DeSilva has produced a most welcome volume that would serve its intended audiences of general readers and students of biblical and ancient history very well. * Gary Gilbert, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
