Judaism and the Gentiles: Jewish Patterns of Universalism (to 135 CE)

Overview

In the Second-Temple period, non-Jews were attracted to Judaism’s communal life, religious observance, and theological imagination. On the Jewish side, this was matched by the development of several discrete “patterns of universalism”—ways in which Jews were able to conceive of a positive place for Gentiles within their symbolic world. In this book, Terence Donaldson collects and comments on all of the texts—up to the end of the second Jewish rebellion in AD 135—that deal with Gentile sympathizers, proselytes, ethical monotheists and participants in end-time redemption. In impressive detail, Donaldson identifies, defines, and describes these “patterns of universalism.”
