Table of ContentsReviews“A brilliant study of how Second Temple letter-writers and authors constructed diaspora and shaped their own identities, which resonate with our own times as well.” —Adele Reinhartz,author of Cast Out of the Covenant: Jews and Anti-Judaism in the Gospel of John “Letters from Home is a brilliant and innovative exploration of ancient Jewish identity-construction that successfully overcomes the biases pervading earlier scholarship.
