They reflect his research interests in Jewish epigraphy, Jewish interpretation of the Bible, Jewish prayer culture, the diaspora in Asia Minor, exegetical problems in the writings of Philo and Josephus, Samaritan history, texts from ancient Christianity which have received little attention (the poems of Cyrus of Panopolis, the Doctrina Jacobi nuper baptizati, the Letter of Mara bar Sarapion), and miscellanea such as the pagan myth of Jewish cannibalism, the meaning of the Greek expression ‘without God,’ the religious significance of sneezing in pagan antiquity, and the variety of stories about pious long-sleepers in the ancient world (pagan, Jewish, Christian).Ancient Judaism and early Christianity ;Volume 87.JudaismHistoryPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.DChurch historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600JudaismHistoryChurch history296.09Horst Pieter Willem van der439944MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808694603321Studies in ancient Judaism and early Christianity4116406UNINA
