Judaism: Practice and belief 63BCE - 66CE
Sanders, E. P. (1937-...)
Judaism: Practice and belief 63BCE - 66CE E. P. Sanders - Great Britain SCM and Trinity International 1992 - 580tr. Hardcover 24cm
In this now-classic work, E. P. Sanders argued against prevailing views regarding the Judaism of the Second Temple period, for example, that the Pharisees dominated Jewish Palestine or that the Mishnah offers a description of general practice. In contrast, Sanders carefully shows that what was important was the “common Judaism” of the people with their observances of regular practices and the beliefs that informed them. Sanders discusses early rabbinic legal material not as rules, but as debates within the context of real life. He sets Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes in relation to the Judaism of ordinary priests and people. Here then is a remarkably comprehensive presentation of Judaism as a functioning religion: the temple and its routine and festivals
