In this volume, Martin’s colleagues and students follow his example by examining Jews and non-Jews in mutual contemplation. Part 1 explores Jews’ views of inter-communal stasis, the causes of the Bar Kochba revolt, tales of Herodian intrigue, and the meaning of “Israel.” Part 2 investigates Jews depiction of outsiders: Moabites, Greeks, Arabs, and Roman authorities. Part 3 explores early Christians’ (Luke, Jerome, Rufinus, Syriac poetry, Pionius, ordinary individuals) views of Jews and use of Jewish sources, and Josephus’s relevance for girls in 19th century Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations   Contributors      Introduction    Kimberley Czajkowski and David Friedman      Part 1: Looking In   1 Historiography in the Time of Stasis: Reflections on the Nationalistic Uprisings in Judea\/Palestine    Jonathan Price      2 The Ban on Circumcision as a Cause of the Bar Kokhba Revolt:  A Reconsideration    Aharon Oppenheimer z”l      3 “When I Die, Kill Those Elders”: The Twice-Told Tale of a  Despot’s Death    Amram Tropper      4 Pitying Suppliant Animals    Shaye J.
