About This Book

A young Jew raised in Alexandria turns from Greek philosophy and travels with his uncle to Jerusalem to fulfil ancestral law; during an extended stay that includes major festivals he becomes a priest, marries, and undergoes a spiritual transformation toward belief in the promised redeemer. The personal story is paired with a richly detailed portrait of Jewish civil and religious life in the late pre-Christian period, describing temple rites, sacrificial practice, liturgy, social customs, and the rising tensions between sects such as the Pharisees and Sadducees to make contemporary institutions and daily observance intelligible to readers.
