Die Autoren der vorliegenden Studien würdigen Menahem Stern, einen der größten Gelehrten der antiken jüdischen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihr Thema ergibt sich aus der Erkenntnis, dass das jüdische Leben und die jüdische Gesellschaft während der tausendjährigen Zeitspanne von Alexanders Eroberung im vierten Jh. v. Chr. bis zur arabischen Eroberung im siebten Jh. n. Chr. unzählige plötzliche wie auch schrittweise Veränderungen erfahren haben. Das hatte zur Folge, dass sich in der Antike zahlreiche Facetten jüdischen Lebens sowie viele Aspekte jüdischer Identität drastisch gewandelt haben. Die Aufsätze dieses Bandes umfassen politische, soziale, kulturelle und religiöse Sachverhalte in literarischen und archäologischen Quellen.
