| Summary: | The "Other" in Second Temple Judaism is a collection of twenty-seven essays written by colleagues and former students of John J. Collins as a tribute to him on occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. As the title of the volume indicates, the "Other" forms the unifying theme of all the essays. This is a felicitous choice, because the issues of Jewish identity in the Second Temple period and how Jewish groups in the land of Israel and the Diaspora defined themselves in relation to (who they considered to be) "Others" have recently become hot topics in scholarship. The essays engage with this theme by addressing a variety of topics pertaining to five broad areas of study to which Collins has devoted much of his scholarly career: (1) The HB and its reception, (2) Wisdom, (3) Apocalypticism, (4) the Dead Sea scrolls, and (5) Jews among Greeks and Romans. |
