The Jewish People in Classical Antiquity: From Alexander to Bar Kochba (1998) is a book by John H. Hayes and Sara Mandell.

Abstract

"Hayes and Mandell provide a clear and engaging exposition of Jewish history from 333 B.C.E. to 135 C.E. A companion volume to A History of Ancient Israel and Judah, it picks up the historical account at the point where the earlier volume ended. Focusing on the Judean-Jerusalem community from a historical rather than ideological or theological perspective, The Jewish People in Classical Antiquity covers the period from the Hellenistic era to the conclusion of the Second Jewish Revolt against Rome. With the inclusion of charts, maps, and ancient texts, the authors have constructed a fascinating account that is sure to become a popular text for study of this crucial period."--Publisher description.
