Eshel's important study has now been translated into English. Shedding new light on what we can learn from the Qumran scrolls about political history, Eshel offers a summary of events that occurred between 140 B.C.E. and 37 B.C.E. and goes on to defend the accuracy of Josephus's account of the Hasmonean era. Includes updated bibliography. 216 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.
