The symbolic significance of slavery.This book is the first comprehensive analysis of Jewish attitudes towards slavery in Hellenistic and Roman times. Against the traditional opinion that after the Babylonian Exile Jews refrained from employing slaves, Catherine Hezser shows that slavery remained a significant phenomenon of ancient Jewish everyday life and generated a discourse which resembled Graeco-Roman and early Christian views while at the same time preserving specifically Jewishnuances.SlaveryHistorySlaverySocial aspectsGreeceSlaverySocial aspectsRomeSlaverySocial aspectsPalestineSlavery and JudaismEnslaved personsLegal status, laws, etcCivilization, Greco-RomanJewsCivilizationTo 70 A.DSlaveryHistory.SlaverySocial aspectsSlaverySocial aspectsSlaverySocial aspectsSlavery and Judaism.Enslaved personsLegal status, laws, etc.Civilization, Greco-Roman.JewsCivilization306.3/62Hezser Catherine1960-922024MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962897203321Jewish slavery in antiquity4361410UNINA
