Overview

The first modern "History of Second Temple Judaism" was published by Protestant scholar Paul Eber in 1548; see Contexta populi Iudaici historia (1548 Eber), book. The model was that provided by Josephus in his Bellum Iudaicum, of which new editions and translations from the original Greek (but also from the ancient versions and paraphrases in Latin and Hebrew) were published in those years.

The history of Second Temple Judaism was soon connected with other emerging fields, notably, as an appendix to the History of the Old Testament by Cradock, or as the background of the History of the New Testament. In 1716-18 Humprey Prideaux created the concept (and literary genre) of Intertestamental Judaism, which for century would define the significance of the period from the Christian vantage point.

After the emancipation and the emergence of Jewish scholarship, Jewish authors also began studying "post-biblical" Judaism.

Second Temple History was also connected with "profane" (Greco-Roman) History. The combination of the two fields provided the "backgrounds" of early Christianity, or the "History of New Testament Times" as the new field soon came to be known.
