Leo G. Perdue and Warren Carter, Israel and Empire: A Postcolonial History of Israel and Early Judaism
Hasmoneans
The dynasty of the Maccabees, who took charge of and ruled Judah in the mid‐second century BCE , are referred to as the “Hasmoneans” (from an ancestor Hasmon).
Allegory, Jewish
The term “allegory” is from Greek allegoria (“to speak other” or “speak figuratively”). Allegory is found widely in the ancient literatures of the Mediterranean and Middle East.
Babylonian exile of the Jews
The Neo‐Babylonian period and the sixth century BCE marked a low point in the history of Judah. Through much of its history, Judah had been under the rule of a foreign power in some form. From the middle of the ninth century BCE to almost the end of the seventh — ca. 850 to 600 — Assyria was the main oppressor. Then just before 600, the Babylonians replaced the Assyrians. It is this short‐lived Neo‐Babylonian Empire — lasting less than a century …
Herod the Great
Herod the Great (ca. 75–4 BCE ) is one of the few names from the Bible known widely by the public.

Sanhedrin, Sanhedriyyot, or Mere Invention
The institution of the Sanhedrin has been taken for granted in much discussion on Second Temple Judaism. In recent years, however, it has come to be questioned. This study examines the primary evidence and asks historical questions: Did such an institution (under the name "Sanhedrin" or some other name or names) actually exist? If so, what form did it take? How might it have functioned? The study concludes that such an institution did exist, but …

The Crisis of Israelite Religion: Transformation of Religious Tradition in Exilic and Post-Exilic Times
Exile and Return have caused a crisis in Israelite religion. This crisis eventually gave the impetus for the emergence of Judaism. The papers in this volume, originally read at a Symposium organized by Utrecht University in April 1998, discuss the relevant aspects of this crisis and the shift from Yahwism to Judaism. The collection of papers is unique in presenting a multidimensional treatment of the problems involved. Biblical texts are read aga…

Method in the Study of Early Judaism: A Dialogue with Lester Grabbe
Il s'agit d'un compte rendu de l'ouvrage de L. Grabbe, Judaism from Cyrus to Hadrian. Le manuel en deux volumes de Grabbe represente une avancee methodologique significative sur les autres traitements du judaisme dans le monde greco-romain. Il tente de rendre explicite le processus de raisonnement historique a partir des preuves et des sources. Cette volonte de raisonner face au lecteur est egalement une des faiblesses de l'ouvrage lorsque l'A. e…
