The Stranger in Ancient and Mediaeval Jewish Tradition (2010) is a volume edited by Géza G. Xeravits, and Jan Dusek.

Abstract

Selected papers read at the first meeting of the Society of Jewish and Biblical Studies in Central Europe (1st International Conference, Piliscsaba, Hungary, 2009).

"The papers investigate various aspects of the concept “Stranger” in Jewish tradition, from the Hebrew Bible to Mediaeval Jewish thought. The bulk of the material focuses on Early Jewish literature, which mirrors an intensive interaction with the Hellenistic system of thought, and the development of concurring Jewish interpretations of traditional values. The papers of the volume provide insightful case studies about the formation of Jewish identity in diverse periods of Israelite and Jewish history, as well as the different attitudes to strangers, being either outsiders, or belonging to opposing sects of Judaism itself. The reader finds essays of historical, literary, and hermeneutical attention; of interest also to scholars of various forms of ancient and mediaeval Judaism."--Publisher description.
