==Abstract==

This work has the admitted goal of restoring justice to the Judaism of the Second Temple period and of explaining the complexity of this period. For Guignebert scholars can no longer lock Judaism inside the well protected hedge of formalism. Judaism is for him a complex, plural and constantly evolving religious fact, undergoing the influences of Hellenism and the historic situation of its time. The book analyzes in a critical way the religious situation in Palestine around the time of Jesus, without prejudice and bringing out the pluralism of the sources. The book discusses the geography of the country, the political situation, and the Jewish movements and institutions. Also he presents the Pharisaic movement in a completely new way, by accepting the Jewish scholars' works. He ends by showing the liveliness of Jewish spiritual life and a synchretism, from which arose two paths, which finally ends with the Talmud and in the Gospel. -- '''Matteo Silvestrini''', University of Lausanne
