(Arbeiten zur Geschichte des antiken Judentums und des Urchristentums)
Ancient Judaism & Early Christianity began in 1976 as Arbeiten zur Geschichte des antiken Judentums und des Urchristentums with the publication of Martin Hengel's classic work, Die Zeloten. The series, which includes monographs and collections of essays, covers a range of topics, typically focusing on areas of mutual influence or points of controversy between Judaism and Christianity in the first centuries CE. Recent titles published in the series have included important studies of Josephus, of the Jewish background to Paul's writings, and of the historical Jesus within his Jewish context.
This series has published an average of two volumes per year over the last five years.
