Power and Politics in Palestine: The Jews and the Governing of Their Land, 100 BC-AD 70 - Bloomsbury Academic Collections: Biblical Studies
McLaren, James S. (Australian Catholic University, Melbourne, Australia)
A historical examination of the administration in Palestine between 100 BC and AD 70. Detailed case studies of such sources as Josephus, the New Testament and Philo establish who was actually involved in the decision-making process and political manoeuvering. The main issues addressed include: whether there was a system of Jewish government, and whether it included a permanent institution, the Sanhedrin; whether there is evidence that political and religious affairs were separated; whether the Jews were able to convict and execute people under Roman rule; what roles, if any, were played by individuals and social or religious groups in the administration; and what the motivation of those involved in the administration may have been.
