Trade Review
"Surely the crown of [Bar-Kochva's] career... One cannot imagine this magisterial volume ever being, or needing to be, replaced." The Henoch "Gives innovative readings of almost all the texts it considers... The result is invigorating and challenging." Bryn Mawr Classical Review (BMCR) "A major reference work on an important aspect of ancient Judaism." International Review Of Biblical Stds "Bar-Kochva ... provides erudite reinterpretations of many of the texts, showing that Greek views of Jews in this period are a complicated issue." -- Mark W. Chavalas Near East Archaeological Society Bltn
