FURTHER READING

Barclay, John M. G. 1996.Jews in the Mediterranean Diaspora: From Alexander to Trajan (323
BCE–117CE). Edinburgh: T&T Clark. A valuable survey of the Jewish experience in the Hel-
lenistic and Roman periods outside Palestine, with special emphasis on questions of assimilation
and collective identity.
Cohen, Shaye J. D. 1999.The Beginnings of Jewishness: Boundaries, Varieties, Uncertainties.Berke-
ley: University of California Press. An insightful and provocative work that demonstrates the
permeable boundaries between Jews and non-Jews and explores the complicated concept of
conversion that eventually sharpened the sense of Jewish identity.
Feldman, Louis H. 1993.Jew and Gentile in the Ancient World. Princeton: Princeton University
Press. The most extensive study in English on this broad topic, commenting on numerous aspects
of relations between Jews and non-Jews, including ethnic clashes, both in Palestine and the
diaspora.
Goodman, Martin. 2007.Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations.NewYork:
Knopf. Despite the subtitle, the book wisely and persuasively dwells more on the symbiotic
relationship between Romans and Jews than on their clashes. It calls attention to a remarkable
range of parallels and contrasts between the peoples in ecology and economy, trade networks,
social relations, and attitudes on countless subjects.
Gruen, Erich S. 2002.Diaspora: Jews Amidst Greeks and Romans. Cambridge, MA: Harvard
University Press. Treats the adjustments of Jews to the circumstances of the Roman Empire,
especially in Rome, Asia, and Alexandria, and the attitudes of Romans toward them.
