ISBN: 9780674474956.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a masterly narrative of the land of Israel from 70 to 640 CE by an eminent Israeli historian. It is a comprehensive record of Jewish life under Roman rule: economic conditions and social welfare; Jewish law and courts; political repression and resistance; religious controversies; the Diaspora and relations between the national center in Palestine and the communities abroad. Gedaliah Alon describes the rebuilding of national life after the defeat in 70; the emergence of the Sages as community leaders; the extent of autonomy under the Roman Empire; the towns and cities of Jewish Palestine; armed uprisings and the Bar Kokhba Revolt; the decades of decline and large-scale emigration; the traditions of learning that produced the Mishnah and Talmud. It is a rich, vividly told story.\n\nThis paperback reproduces in one volume the two-volume translation of Alon’s classic work published in Jerusalem in 1980 and 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789695246389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674474953","price":47.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674474956_9aaa335b-d210-48fc-a0fa-8b0a3f344ddb.jpg?v=1784758359","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jews-in-their-land-in-the-talmudic-age-70640-ce-9780674474956","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
