{"product_id":"the-true-israel-9789004106178","title":"The True Israel","description":"Many studies have portrayed Judaism in Antiquity as sectarian, with a variety of groups all claiming to be The True Israel. Early Christianity is alleged to have begun in this context as one more Jewish sect claiming such authority. However, the second-century Christian Justin Martyr is the first person known to have used the phrase 'the True Israel'.\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the uses of the names 'Jew', 'Hebrew' and 'Israel' in the surviving literature - especially the Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Josephus, New Testament and Mishnah - to determine whether this is an adequate or accurate picture. It discusses the associations of each word, as determined by their actual usage and collocations rather than their theoretical origins.\u003cbr\u003eIt will be of value to scholars of ancient Judaism and early Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication has also been published in paperback, please \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/title\/7554\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eclick here\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for details.","brand":"Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308127727867,"sku":"9789004106178","price":296.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004106178.jpg?v=1772491053","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-true-israel-9789004106178","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
