History of the Jewish People in the Age of Jesus Christ: Volume 3.ii and Index

Emil Schurer (1844 – 1910) was a German Protestant theologian. He lectured at Leipzig, Giessen, Kiel, and Göttingen and founded and edited the journal Theologische Literaturzeitung. He devoted most of his scholarly life to the creation of his magisterial work on the Jewish People in the Age of Jesus Christ.Geza Vermes, F.B.A., was Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Emeritus Fellow of Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and Director of the Forum of Qumran Research at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, UK.Fergus Millar, F.B.A., is Emeritus Camden Professor of Ancient History in the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford, UK.Martin D. Goodman is Professor of Jewish Studies and Fellow of Wolfson College at the University of Oxford, UK. Pamela Vermes was former Literary Editor of the Journal of Jewish Studies, Oxford, UK.

The Vermes-Millar version of Schürer's justly famous history of the Jewish people in the age of Jesus Christ is a truly monumental achievement in its wellnigh total recasting of the entire work. The up-to-date bibliographical coverage alone, the wide trawl of the most recondite sources in many languages, Semitic, Greek, etc., and the cautious but firm exercise of judgement will ensure its authoritative survival deep into the 21st century. The publication of the eagerly awaited indexes, which places the key to this great compendium of both reference and literature into the hands of readers from many disparate disciplines, is bound to be a literary event of profound significance.
