"Let it be said right away: if you want to avoid changing your lecture notes, do not read this book! Martin Goodman, Professor of Jewish Studies at Oxford University, is an acclaimed scholar in both Roman and Jewish studies, and with good reason.... Though I, like probably many others, only reluctantly change my lecture notes, I find myself greatly enriched by having read this volume....for anyone occupied with the late Second Temple period, Goodman’s volume is a must read." – Morten Hørning Jensen, in: Bulletin for Biblical Research 19/4 (2010)"Judaism in the Roman World brings together a series of relatively short papers, all with important conclusions..." – René Bloch, University of Bern, in: The Studia Philonica Annual 22 (2010)
