Margaret H. Williams examines how classical writers saw and portrayed Jesus, engaging with the fact that as the originator of a new (and still existing) world religion, Jesus of Nazareth, otherwise known as Christus (Christ), is an individual of indisputable historical significance.Williams shows how from the outset Jesus was a controversial figure. Contemporary Jews in the Roman province of Judaea tended either to adore or to abhor him. When indue course his fame spread throughout the wider Roman empire, reactions to him there among both Jews and non-Jews were no less divergent. Each of the early classical writers who makes mention of him, the historian Tacitus, the biographer Suetonius, the epistolographer Pliny and the satirist Lucian, takes a different view of him and presents him in a different way. Williams considers these different depictions and questions why these writers had such differing views of Jesus. To answer this question Williams examines not only to the different literary conventions by which each of these writers was bound but also to the social, cultural and religious contexts in which they operated.

This collection of translated texts is designed to introduce those interested in Graeco-Roman and Jewish culture to the realities of Jewish life outside Israel in the period between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and the ending of the Jewish Patriarchate by the Christian emperors of Rome in the middle of the fifth century. Designed for student use, a feature of the collection is the prominence given to papyri and inscriptions. Composed in accordance with Graeco-Roman epigraphic conventions but written by Jews, these texts, some only recently discovered, should prove a rich source of information about the values and practices of real, as opposed to stereotypical, Jews in antiquity.

Margaret H. Williams stellt eine Auswahl ihrer Studien zur jüdischen Diaspora in der griechisch-römischen Antike zusammen, die meisten davon epigraphisch ausgerichtet. Die Untersuchungen im ersten Teil behandeln Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der jüdischen Gemeinde in Rom; ihrer Geschichte, Organisation und Bestattungspraxis. Die Texte im zweiten Teil befassen sich hauptsächlich mit anderen jüdischen Siedlungen im römischen Reich, von denen vor allem Aphrodisias und Korykos in Kleinasien und Venusia in Italien hervorzuheben sind. Der dritte Teil konzentriert sich ausschließlich auf jüdische Bräuche in der Namensgebung wie zum Beispiel die Verwendung verschiedener Namen, die Entstehung der Namen von Festen und die in der Spätantike wachsende Bevorzugung hebräischer Namen. Die Rezeption dieser Studien, die zuvor unabhängig voneinander veröffentlicht wurden, ist Thema des übergreifenden einführenden Aufsatzes. Seit der ursprünglichen Veröffentlichung der Artikel sind viele Inschriften in neuen Editionen herausgegeben worden. Diese Literaturhinweise wurden in dem Band systematisch ergänzt.
