About this title

Synopsis

A clear, accessible look at religious life and conflict in the Roman world during the time of the apostles.

See how early Judaism shaped cities, politics, and religious debate in a sprawling empire.

This edition surveys the religious climate of the Roman Empire, focusing on how Jewish communities spread across major cities and how their presence sparked clashes and debates. It combines social history with the ideas that shaped monotheism and the rise of a broader religious landscape in antiquity.

Readers will encounter the players and tensions of Alexandria, the role of local leaders, and the competition between different faiths. The work situates these conversations within broader cultural shifts, including the allure of monotheism and the philosophical currents of the era.

How Jewish dispersal created social and political dynamics in key cities
Perspectives on religious conflict between Jews, Greeks, and Romans
Profiles of figures who influenced public opinion and policy, from officials to sophists
Context for the rise of monotheism within a diverse ancient world

Ideal for readers of ancient history and early Christian studies who want a grounded, documentary view of religious life in the empire.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
