In this now-classic work, E. P. Sanders carefully shows that what was important in Second Temple Judaism was the common Judaism of the people, their observances of regular practices, and the beliefs that informed them. Sanders offers a remarkably comprehensive presentation of Judaism as a functioning religion: the temple and its routine and festivals; questions of purity, sacrifices, tithes, and taxes; and common theology and hopes for the future. This is a detailed, clear, and well-argued account of all aspects of Jewish religion of the time.
