What was the extent and nature of Jewish proselytizing activity amongst nonJews in Palestine and the Greco Roman diaspora leading up to and during the beginnings of the Christian era? Was there a clear missional direction? How did Second Temple Judaism recruit converts and gain sympathizers? This book strives to address these questions, representing an update of the discussion while also breaking new ground. A "source book" of key texts is provided at the end.
