These twenty-four lectures offer an introduction to the history, literature, and religion of ancient Israel and early Judaism as it is presented in the collection of texts called the Old Testament, the Hebrew Bible, and the Tanakh. Attention is given not only to the content of the biblical books but also to the debates over their meaning and the critical methods through which they have been interpreted.

Description
Dr. Gafni explores how Judaism was permanently transformed by the events that took place between 586 BC [Babylonian captivity] and 70 AD [Roman invasion]. He shows how the loss of the 2 temples, their land, and the Diaspora in the first century AD changed worship practices, interpretation of sacred texts, and how the people's view of themselves changed and their relation to the world at large and to God.
