Description

The First Jewish Revolt against Rome is arguably the most decisive event in the history of Judaism and Christianity. The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE by the Roman General Titus forced a transformation in structure and form for both of these fraternal religions. Yet despite its importance, little has been written on the First Revolt, its causes, implications and the facts surrounding it. In this volume, Andrea M. Berlin and J. Andrew Overman have gathered the foremost scholars on the period to discuss and debate this pivotal historical event. The contributions explore both Roman and Jewish perspectives on the Revolt, looking at its history and archaeology, and finally examining the ideology and interpretation of the revolt in subsequent history and myth. This much needed study of a neglected topic will be an essential tool for all those interested in Roman imperial history, as well as the history of Judaism and Christianity. Mordechai Aviam; Dina Avshalom-Gorni; Hanan Eshel; Sean Freyne; Nimrod Getzov; Martin Goodman; Erich S Gruen: Richard Horsley; Jodi Magness; Eric Meyers; Tessa Rajak; Anthony Saldarini; Neil Asher Sil
