Abstract:

This book offers a broad exploration of the formation of early Judaism, ranging across diverse themes: the identity of those who produced and canonized the Hebrew Bible and subsequently shaped its interpretation; the significance and impact of Second Isaiah and the books of Ezra and Nehemiah; the roots of Jewish apocalyptic literature, and the possible origins of the exodus story; the ethical systems of the Hebrew Bible and of the Athenian tragedians.
