“This reissue of E. P. Sanders’s pioneering 1992 work on late Second Temple Judaism comes at a time in the study of early Judaism when it is most needed. In recent years there has been a drift away from the classical sources of Philo, Josephus, the early rabbinic literature, and the Hebrew Bible in reconstructing the practices and beliefs of Jews at the turn of the Common Era. Ed Sanders brings us back to common ground for all to (re)consider as archeology and Dead Sea Scrolls research provides stunning new data to supplement and enhance the old.”
