It has rendered invaluable services to scholars for nearly a century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present work offers a fresh translation and a revision of the entire subject-matter. The bibliographies have been rejuvenated and supplemented; the sources are presented according to the latest scholarly editions; and all the new archaeological, epigraphical, numismatic and literary evidence, including the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Bar Kokhba documents, has been introduced into the survey. Account has also been taken of the progress in historical research, both in the classical and Jewish fields. This work reminds students of the profound debt owed to nineteenth-century learning, setting it within a wider framework of contemporary knowledge, and provides a foundation on which future historians of Judaism in the age of Jesus may build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Without any doubt . . . a major work of scholarship . . .” —\u003ci\u003eJournal of Jewish Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“...a first-rate textbook on the  intertestamental period.” —\u003ci\u003eJournal of Jewish Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The obsolete has been excised  from text, notes, and bibliographies, which have all been revised.
