The inclusion of neurobiology, psychology, brain research and evolutionary research will widen this horizon and allow new approaches.

Cults and temples of the ancient world regularly held assets in land, often naming a patron deity as landowner but managing the land themselves and affording it sanctity protections. Such arrangements can provide essential background to the Hebrew Bible’s assertion that the Land of Israel is “God’s land.” They can also shed light on the references in biblical and early Jewish literature to the sacred landholdings of the priesthood or the temple.

Scholars rely on intuition to relate text to context in reconstructions of Jewishness in antiquity. This study uses a recent sociological model to link demographic and institutional environments with how writers construct Jewishness. It integrates textual and material sources into a thick description of the competition over who is in, how this is marked, and what this means for life chances. The results con rm and challenge past conclusions.

This study approaches the topic of ethnicity through the lenses of the ancients themselves rather than through the imposition of modern categories. It takes into account the expressions and attitudes of a wide variety of Greek, Roman, Jewish, and early Christian sources. A central issue guides the course of the work: did ancient writers re ect upon collective identity as determined by common origins or by shared traditions and culture?

COMMENTARIES ON EARLY JEWISH LITERATURE

Edited by Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Pieter W. van der Horst, Hermann Lichtenberger, Doron Mendels, James R. Mueller

The series Commentaries on Early Jewish Literature (CEJL) is devoted to the study of Jewish documents and traditions that can be dated or traced back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods (ca. 300 BCE–150 CE). The literature covered by the series represents a rich diversity of literary forms and religious perspectives. Formally, these writings include testaments, apocalypses, legends, expansions and interpretations of biblical writings, psalms and prayers, poetry, historiography, and wisdom literature. They witness to an immensely creative period during which many Jews were struggling to preserve a living faith in the wake of social, political, and religious upheavals in the Mediterranean world and the Near East.
