About this title

Synopsis

Professor Simon studies the relationship between Jews and Christians in the Roman Empire from the second Jewish War (AD 132-135) to the end of the Jewish Patriarchate (AD 425). He also discusses reasons for the eventual disappearance of Judaism as a missionary religion while the rival Christian community triumphed.
