This book was brought out by Abingdon Press in 1991. It
has recently gone out of print, and I presently own the copyright. It will
be published in a revised version by Hendrickson Press under the title
Judaism
in the Time of Jesus, probably in 2000. The chapters are available
only on the intranet, that is, from on campus. You have a choice
between html format (where the chapters
will appear on your browser as a web page) or Word
97 format (where you can click on a chapter and download it as a Word
file). I have also made the Word 97 version available below as a
single zip file. For
