Sabbath and Synagogue: The Question of Sabbath Worship in Ancient Judaism

Surveying literary and epigraphic evidence for sabbath activities of Jews from relevant sources, including classical and Christian authors before 200 CE, this book concludes that communal sabbath worship was a late development. Please note that "Sabbath and Synagogue" was previously published by Brill in hardback (ISBN 90 04 10060 1), still available).
