Synopsis
Most people understand Judaism to be the Torah and the Torah to be Judaism. However, in The Invention of Judaism , John J. Collins persuasively argues this was not always the case. The Torah became the touchstone for most of Judaism's adherents only in the hands of the rabbis of late antiquity. For 600 years prior, from the Babylonian Exile to the Roman destruction of the Second Temple, there was enormous variation in the way the Torah was understood. Collins provides a comprehensive account of the role of the Torah in ancient Judaism, exploring key moments in its history, beginning with the formation of Deuteronomy and continuing through the Maccabean revolt and the rise of Jewish sectarianism and early Christianity.

    Great value. Exactly as described. Packed well and with care. Shipped very promptly. Seller was communicative, honest and responsive, resolving a concern I had that was ultimately found to be misplaced and unwarranted.

    I bought this book because of the beautiful binding! The packaging was a quarter inch thick cardboard over bubblewrap, it was practically bulletproof & shipping was well tracked and fast. This book, "The Art of War," had a very good description and the pictures were great - looked better in person! A very good price for this classic book in hardcover. The Seller, PrepBooks, is reliable, descriptions were accurate, pictures were accurate, shipping was very prompt. I will buy here again!
