The Classic Studies in Jewish History during the Time of Jesus collection presents 14 historic works detailing both biblical and post-biblical Jewish history. They cover the development of a nation, a religion, and a distinct cultural identity. These classic works represent the intellectual foundation for today’s scholarship on Jewish history. The authors—including Selah Merrill, Edmond Stapfer, and James Stevenson Riggs—detail the origins and impacts of events in Jewish history, such as the exodus from Egypt; the establishment, split, and fall of the Kingdom of Israel; the Maccabean revolt, the Roman occupation; and the Great Revolt. As the leading Jewish history scholarship of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, these works will be enjoyed by anyone interested in Jewish history or the development and practice of Judaism.

In this volume, Max Radin explores the historical contact between the Jewish people, Greeks, and Romans. Radin illustrates the nature of their contact, the results, and the mutual impressions made by the three cultures.
