Elements of ancient Jewish nationalism /David Goodblatt. - 1 online resource (xvi, 260 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Theoretical considerations : nationalism and ethnicity in antiquity -- Constructing Jewish nationalism : the role of scripture -- Constructing Jewish nationalism : the Hebrew language -- A kingdom of priests : the priestly component in ancient Jewish nationalism -- Israel nationalism -- Judah nationalism -- Zion nationalism -- Conclusions : Jewish nationalism : what rose and what fell? -- Bibliography.

Contrary to the widespread view that nationalism is a modern phenomenon, Goodblatt argues that it can be found in the ancient world. He argues that concepts of nationalism compatible with contemporary social scientific theories can be documented in the ancient sources from the Mediterranean Rim by the middle of the last millennium BCE. In particular, the collective identity asserted by the Jews in antiquity fits contemporary definitions of nationalism. After the theoretical discussion in the opening chapter, the author examines several factors constitutive of ancient Jewish nationalism. He shows how this identity was socially constructed by such means as the mass dissemination of biblical literature, retention of the Hebrew language, and through the priestly caste. The author also discusses each of the names used to express Jewish national identity: Israel, Judah and Zion.
