Reviews

While his expertise as a Roman historian certainly provided Rudich with a valuable foundation for the present study, and his earlier examinations of dissident psychology led naturally to this analysis of violent religious dissent, his focus on Roman Judea necessitated a brave plunge into unfamiliar territory - a virtual quagmire of scholarly literature that he admits to having underestimated initially. - William den Hollander, Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary, BMCR
