Descripción del artículo del vendedor

HOW ROME HELPED SHAPE RABBINIC JUDAISM. Drawing upon archaeology, rabbinic literature, and classical history, Burton L. Visotzky explores the cultural dialogue between Judaism and the Greco-Roman world. Rather than portraying Judaism as isolated from its surrounding civilization, he demonstrates how Jewish communities selectively adapted Roman customs, architecture, language, and social practices while preserving their distinct religious identity. Illustrated throughout with photographs of archaeological sites, mosaics, catacombs, synagogues, and classical artifacts, the work presents a richly documented examination of the cultural environment in which Rabbinic Judaism developed. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. Approximately 9.25 inches tall; 245 pages with index and further reading. Illustrated throughout with color and black-and-white photographs of archaeological sites, ancient art, architecture, and artifacts. First Edition, First Printing. CONDITION: New. No flaws or blemishes. Gift Quality. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: JUDAISM IN THE ROMAN WORLD - Rather than viewing Judaism and Roman civilization as opposing cultures, Visotzky examines the complex exchange of ideas that occurred throughout Late Antiquity. Drawing upon archaeological discoveries alongside rabbinic texts, he illustrates how Jewish communities adapted elements of Roman civic life, artistic expression, and social customs while maintaining their religious identity. The result is a thoughtful reinterpretation of the cultural foundations of Rabbinic Judaism and an accessible introduction to the everyday world in which it evolved. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS +++ Archaeology & Material Culture - Extensively illustrated with photographs of synagogues, mosaics, catacombs, sarcophagi, and archaeological sites throughout the Mediterranean world. +++ Classical Context - Integrates Roman history, archaeology, and Jewish textual traditions to examine the cultural interaction between Judaism and the Roman Empire. +++ Visual Documentation - Rich photographic program enhances the discussion with images of ancient architecture, decorative arts, inscriptions, and religious spaces.

Visotzky; Judaism; Roman Empire; Rabbinic Judaism; Classical Civilization; Jewish History; Archaeology; Greco-Roman Culture; Religious History; Ancient Mediterranean,Jewish History; Ancient History; Classical Studies; Religious Studies; Archaeology. …
