The Romam Near East 31 BC - AD 357Description
Part of the Carl Newell Jackson Lectures series. The Roman Near East shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria, Judaea, Arabia, and Mesopotamia. The book covers the history as well as the diversity of peoples, religions, and languages that made up the Roman Near East. Against this, the book explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity. The books gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. We are introduced to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities, bringing out the different strands of culture, communal identity, language, and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism, early Christianity, and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed.Lexicon
