Das antike Judentum <German> / Ancient Judaism (1921) is a book by Max Weber.

Abstract

Part 3 of Weber's Gesammelte Aufsätze zur Religionssoziologie (Bd. 1 Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus. Die protestantischen Sekten und der Geist des Kapitalismus. Die Wirtschaftsethik der Weltreligionen -- Bd. 2 Hinduismus und Buddhismus -- Bd. 3. Das antike Judentum).

Weber's work was the first attempt at a socio-historical analysis of ancient Judaism. Weber was neither a Biblical scholar nor an Orientalist; his work was not based on primary sources but on the secondary literature on the period.

While focusing in the pre-exilic history of the Hebrews, Weber's work included Second Temple Judaism.
