Abstract

A tribute to the life-work of Tessa Rajak, evaluating and engaging with major themes to which she has made ground-breaking contributions to the field of Hellenistic Judaism. Key topics include the study of Josephus as a Jewish historian, of the Greek Bible in its Jewish context, Jewish experiences of ‘diaspora’ life under Greek and Roman rule (including attitudes towards the Roman Empire), the interpretation of Jewish inscriptions, and Jewish creative engagement with the art of translating Jewish traditions into new contexts.
