Hasmonean Revolt: Rebellion or Revolution (Ancient Near Eastern Texts and Studies)

By Steven L. Derfler

Presenting a synthesis of theories from numerous disciplines - history, economics, sociology, and religion - this work examines the Hasmonean Revolt, the liberation movement that allowed for the rebirth of a Jewish state in Judea after four centuries of foreign domination. The study postulates that the seeds of revolution appear to have been planted as a result of factors that began to develop as early as the first half of the third and second centuries BC. Appendices include the Zenon Papyri, maps, and dynastic lists.
