  • Depolarized by the Media? The Role of Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Traditional and Digital Media Diets in Issue Polarization Around Covid-19 in the United States

    Open AccessNatalia Bogado, D De Coninck et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    Research suggests that a heterogeneous media diet can foster more objective information evaluations, reducing issue polarization as a result.These findings beg the question: Can increased news heterogeneity reduce issue polarization around COVID-19?Using data from a cross-sectional survey in the United States (N = 1,262), this study found that -in line with theoretical expectations -at high levels of homogeneity of traditional and digital news co…

  • The Ancient Jews from Alexander to Muhammad

    Open AccessSeth SchwartzBOOKAncient Jews from Alexander to…2014

    This is an accessible and up-to-date account of the Jews during the millennium following Alexander the Great's conquest of the East. Unusually, it acknowledges the problems involved in constructing a narrative from fragmentary yet complex evidence and is, implicitly, an exploration of how this might be accomplished. Moreover, unlike most other introductions to the subject, it concentrates primarily on the people rather than issues of theology and…

  • Jewish States

    J Schwartz, Seth SchwartzCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of the State…2013

    This chapter examines the history of the formation of Jewish states, discussing the geography and phenomenology of the Jewish states, and the relation between ethnos and state. It highlights the incomplete consolidation of Judaism as the normative ideology of the Jews in the Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods, describes the Hasmonean state under Herod, and identifies the factors that contributed to state formation.

  • Judaism

    J Schwartz, Seth SchwartzBOOKThe Oxford handbook of Roman…2010

    To what extent and in what ways were the Jews integrated in the Roman world? Why was their integration initially so fraught (there were three cataclysmic revolts between 66 and 135 CE), but subsequently so successful? Without prejudging the complex question of the relation between Judaism as a religious ideology and the actual cultural practices of the Jews, it will be helpful to begin with a brief account of what is known about Judaism in the Ro…

  • Imperialism and Jewish Society: 200 B.C.E. to 640 C.E

    Seth SchwartzBOOKImperialism and Jewish Society2009

    This provocative new history of Palestinian Jewish society in antiquity marks the first comprehensive effort to gauge the effects of imperial domination on this people. Probing more than eight centuries of Persian, Greek, and Roman rule, Seth Schwartz reaches some startling conclusions--foremost among them that the Christianization of the Roman Empire generated the most fundamental features of medieval and modern Jewish life. Schwartz begins by a…

  • Sunt Lachrymae Rerum

    Seth SchwartzARTICLEThe Jewish Quarterly Review2009Cited by: 1

    Sunt Lachrymae Rerum MARTIN GOODMAN. Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations. New York: Knopf, 2007. Pp. xiv + 638.ROME AND JERUSALEM (RJ) is in equal measures magisterial and flawed. It proposes a grand vision of the history of relations between the Jews and the Roman state - based on a probably unequaled command of both Roman and Jewish sources - which in the end proves problematic, and excessively reliant on hypothetical, variab…

  • Being Greek under Rome: Cultural Identity, the Second Sophistic and the Development of Empire

    Open AccessJohn Henderson, Maud W Gleason et al.BOOKBeing Greek under Rome2001

    These especially commissioned essays open up a fascinating perspective on a crucial era of western culture. In the second century CE the Roman empire dominated the Mediterranean, but Greek culture maintained its huge prestige. At the same time, Christianity and Judaism were vying for followers against the lures of such an elite cultural life. This book looks at how writers in Greek from all areas of Empire society respond to their political posit…

  • The Patriarchs and the Diaspora

    Seth SchwartzARTICLEJournal of Jewish Studies1999Cited by: 11

    Les patriarches ont vu l'apogee de leur autorite patronale et de leur pouvoir institutionnel a la fin du 4e siecle. La diaspora a joue un role crucial dans ce processus. Grâce a leur role d'intermediaire pour les communautes de la diaspora, les patriarches ont acquis de la richesse et une clientele juive de premier plan. Ces facteurs mettent en valeur le prestige des patriarches aupres des juifs palestiniens. L'influence patriarchale semble avoir…

  • On the Autonomy of Judaea in the Fourth and Third Centuries B.C.E

    Seth SchwartzARTICLEJournal of Jewish Studies1994

    Cet article s'interesse a l'autonomie politique de la Judee entre les IV e et III e siecles. Apres la conquete d'Alexandre le Grand, Antiochus III avait autorise les Juifs a se gouverner eux-memes selon leurs propre lois. Que s'est-il passe ensuite et notammment entre 301 et 200 avant JC, periode pendant laquelle la Palestine est sous le joug des Ptolemees ? Cette monarchie hellenistique a-t-elle confirme cette autonomie ? Ici le consensus entre …

  • The “Judaism” of Samaria and Galilee in Josephus's Version of the Letter of Demetrius I to Jonathan ( Antiquities 13.48–57)

    Open AccessSeth SchwartzARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1989

    The slapdash, seamy character of the second half of Josephus's Antiquities frequently obscures the author's purpose; the recovery of this information is therefore often neglected, though scholars are becoming increasingly aware of the task's importance. A good example of this scholarly neglect concerns the little narrative complex of Ant . 13.1-79, covering the period from Judas's death in battle against Bacchides in 160 BCE to the appointment of…

  • The Composition and Publication of Josephus's Bellum Iudaicum Book 7

    Open AccessSeth SchwartzARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1986

    We should like to have Josephus's history of the Jews from the great revolt to the thirteenth year of Domitian ( Ant. 20.267), if he ever managed to write such a work. Since we do not have it, we are compelled to depend on a few scattered references in Josephus and other writers, and on our ingenuity, for our knowledge of Jewish political history after August 70. Nonetheless, the first few years of the period after 70 are slightly less obscure th…
