Focusing on the impact of imperial rule, the book explores over eight centuries of Palestinian Jewish society under Persian, Greek, and Roman domination. Seth Schwartz uncovers significant insights, particularly highlighting how the Christianization of the Roman Empire shaped essential aspects of medieval and modern Jewish life. This comprehensive history challenges existing narratives and deepens the understanding of Jewish identity and culture during a transformative period.
