The History of the Jews in Antiquity [EPUB ebook] 

First Published in 1995, the main emphasis of this book is on the political history of the Jews in Palestine, where ‚political‘ is to be understood not as the mere succession of rulers and battles but as the interaction between political activity and social, economic and religious circumstances. A particular concern is the investigation of social and economic conditions in the history of Palestinian Judaism.
