Jews and Christians in the Roman World : From Historical Method to Cases / From Historical Method to Cases Steve Mason. - 1 online resource (670 pages) : illustrations. - Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity ; 116 . - Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity ; 116. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Roman Judaea, Christian origins, and Roman-Judaean-Christian relations are flourishing fields of endless fascination. Amid the flurry of new research, however, which uses ever new methods in the humanities and social sciences, basic questions about what happened and how people then understood events are easily obscured. 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.
