An introductory chapter provides an outline of common hermeneutics or "lenses" through which scholars approach the texts and artefacts of Judaism and Christianity in antiquity. The textbook also features a glossary of key terms, a list of further readings and discussion questions for each topic, and activities for classroom use. In short, the book is designed to be a complete, classroom-ready toolbox for teachers who may have never taught this subject as well as for those already familiar with it.Jewish and Christian Women in the Ancient Mediterraneanis intended for use in undergraduate classrooms, its target audience undergraduate students and their instructors, although Masters students may also find the book useful.
