The experience of violence and verbal harassment was and still is an oppressive reality for Jews. This volume focusses on Jew-hatred and how it was encountered in the Second Temple period. It includes contributions on very different literature from the Hellenistic and Roman times from various proveniences: from Jewish literature in Greek language (e.g. Septuagint and Philo) to the works of Greek and Roman authors. Thus, prejudices, resentments and violence against Jews will be addressed and analyzed as well as how the Jewish community opposed it both pragmatically and intellectually. The historically oriented contributions are complemented by an essay in which past and present experiences are related to each other.
