Author: FINE, STEVEN
Title: Art and Judaism in the Greco-Roman World. Toward a New Jewish Archaeology. Hardcover
Description: Cambridge, University Press, 2005. XVIII, 267 pp. Fine copy. Cloth with dustjacket. Art and Judaism explores the Jewish experience with art during the Greco-Roman period - from the Hellenistic period through the rise of Islam. It starts with the premise that Jewish art in antiquity was a 'minority' or 'ethnic' art and surveys ways that Jews fully participated in, transformed, and at times rejected the art of their general environment. It focuses upon the politics of identity during the Greco-Roman period, even as it discusses ways that modern identity issues have sometimes distorted and at other times refined scholarly discussion of ancient Jewish material culture.
