Taylor, Joan E. (, Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Waikato University, Hamilton, New Zealand and Honorary Research Fellow, Departments of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, and in History, University College London)
The 'Therapeutae' were a Jewish group of ascetic philosophers who lived outside Alexandria in the middle of the first century CE. This study focuses on issues of history, rhetoric, women, and gender in a wide exploration of the group, about the 'Therapeutae' and their relationship with the Jewish allegorical school of exegesis in Alexandria.
