The Cambridge History of Judaism
Winner:National Jewish Book Award -Reference Boty (2007)
The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of Judaism covers the period from 70 CE to 640 CE (the rise of Islam), addressing the major historical, political and cultural developments in Jewish history during this crucial era. The volume is especially strong in its coverage of the growth and development of rabbinic Judaism and the major classical rabbinic sources such as the Mishnah, Jerusalem Talmud, Babylonian Talmud and various Midrashic collections. In addition, it surveys the growth of early Jewish mystical literature and the liturgical literature of the developing synagogue.

Praise for this book
"...there are in this volume a good number of essays that are outstandingly clear and informative, wisely constructed and well documented, with a fair balance of sources, arguments and conclusions. They are readable as well as academically sound, and achieve a happy medium between what is suitable for a monograph and what belongs in a short enycylopedia." -- Times Higher Educational Supplement
