However, in The Invention of Judaism, John J. Collins persuasively argues this was not always the case. The Torah became the touchstone for most of Judaism's adherents only in the hands of the rabbis of late antiquity. For 600 years prior, from the Babylonian Exile to the Roman destruction of the Second Temple, there was enormous variation in the way the Torah was understood. Collins provides a comprehensive account of the role of the Torah in ancient Judaism, exploring key moments in its history, beginning with the formation of Deuteronomy and continuing through the Maccabean revolt and the rise of Jewish sectarianism and early Christianity. 410 0$aTaubman lectures in Jewish studies ;$v7. 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yTo 70 A.D 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 676 $a296.09/01 686 $aBD 1220$2rvk 700 $aCollins$b John J$g(John Joseph),$f1946-,$0283663 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160346903321 996 $aThe Invention of Judaism$92895765 997 $aUNINA
