Více o knize

Focusing on the Late Second Temple Period, the book challenges the prevailing academic view of disunity among the Jewish people during a time of significant upheaval. It highlights key events such as the defilement of the Jerusalem Temple, the Maccabean Revolt, and the establishment of a rival temple in Egypt. The author argues for the existence of a cohesive Jerusalem tradition that fostered a unified Jewish identity, despite the widespread diaspora and social changes.
