　　C***tructing their essays around specific cultural artifacts

that were created in the period and locale under study, the

contributors describe the cultural in***cti*** among different

Jews–from rabbis and scholars to non-elite groups, including

women–as well as between Jews and the surrounding non-Jewish world.

What they conclude is that although Jews have always had their own

autonomous traditi***, Jewish identity cannot be c***idered the

fixed product of either ancient ethnic or religious origins.

Rather, it has shifted and assumed new forms in resp***e to the

cultural environment in which the Jews have lived.

Mediterranean Origins, the first volume in Cultures of

the Jews, describes the concept of the “People” or “Nation” of

Israel that emerges in the Hebrew Bible and the culture of the

Israelites in relation to that of neighboring Canaanite groups. It

also discusses Jewish cultures in Babylonia, in Palestine during

the Greco-Roman and Byzantine periods, and in Arabia during the

formative years of Islam.
