Reviews

This volume is a very useful contribution to the growing bibliography on ancient associations and synagogai in antiquity. Monson and Krause's essays are outstanding illustrations of how careful comparison-what Smith called disciplined exaggeration- can create new insight into familiar texts, and the Czajkowski and Baslez contributions are especially valuable for understanding Philo and Josephus's perspectives on Judean groups. John S. Kloppenborg, RBL, July 2020
