Gruen who has written extensively on the literature and history of early Judaism and the experience of the Jews in the Greco-Roman world. His many articles on this subject have, however, appeared mostly in conference volumes and Festschriften, and have therefore not had wide circulation. By putting them together in a single work, this will bring the essays to the attention of a much broader scholarly readership and make them more readily available to students in the fields of ancient history and early Judaism. The pieces are quite varied, but develop a number of connected and related themes: Jewish identity in the pagan world, the literary representations by Jews and pagans of one another, the interconnections of Hellenism and Judaism, and the Jewish experience under Hellenistic monarchies and the Roman empire. 410 0$aDeuterocanonical and cognate literature studies ;$vVolume 29. 606 $aJews$xHistory$y586 B.C.-70 A.D 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.D 606 $aJews$xIdentity$yTo 1500 606 $aJewish literature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aHellenism. 610 $aIdentity. 610 $aJudaism. 610 $arepresentations. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xIdentity 615 0$aJewish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a909/.04924 700 $aGruen$b Erich S.$0172863 702 $aGoodman$b Martin$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910291731603321 996 $aConstructs of identity in Hellenistic Judaism$92132027 997 $aUNINA
