Since Babylon

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Allen Stouffer, who so brilliantly illumined the unlikely story of the abolitionist movement in Ontario, now focuses his spotlight on Second Temple Judaism. He traces the Jewish return from exile in Babylon and Judaism’s tumultuous reemergence in Palestine—despite waves of opposition, conquest, and deadly infighting—on through the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in 70 CE. Stouffer provides an excellent entry into the dramatic ‘hidden history’ that shaped both Judaism and Christianity.”
