Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The second volume of Stade's comprehensive study of biblical theology is an examination of the Jewish religion from the time of Ezra to the era of Christ. Continuing from the first volume, this book is an investigation of the roots of Christianity by examining its Jewish context. The a…uthor goes into meticulous detail on the development of legalistic and cultic practices, wisdom literature and theology, and the eschatological worldview that was dominant in Second Temple Judaism. Particular attention is paid to influences from the surrounding Hellenistic world and the attempts by Jewish leaders to maintain the integrity of their faith and traditions in the face of new ideas and practices. The author guides the reader through ancient sources, including the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, and other historical documents and archaeological evidence, to paint a clear picture of religious attitudes and practices of the period. He successfully demonstrates how a detailed look at the development of Jewish religious ideas of this period is key to understanding the rise of Christianity. This work remains an invaluable study for understanding the origins and context of early Christianity and the evolution of Judaism in the centuries leading up to and including the time of Christ.
