In reference to Ephraim Stern’s hypothesis that Judah witnessed a
“religious revolution“ during the transition between the (Neo)Babylonian
and the Persian period, resulting in an imageless monotheism, the
contributors discuss the material culture of Persian Period
Palestine/Israel.
They refer to a workshop on “Jewish ‘Material’ Otherness? Ethnic,
Religious and Cultural Boundaries in Late Persian and Early Hellenistic
Times in the Southern Levant”, held at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg
Dynamics in the History of Religions between Asia and Europe
(Ruhr-Universität Bochum) in 2010.
Following an introductory overview on the material culture of the late
Iron Age to the early Hellenistic period, they review the most relevant
object genres in the light of new finds and current research:
administrative stamp-seals, figurines, incense burners, coins, seals,
bullae and Greek pottery.
Special attention is devoted to regional developments in order to
highlight commonalities and differences in the material culture between
Yehûd and Samaria, and between Yehûd and the other neighbouring
provinces.
The authors demonstrate continuities and discontinuities in material
culture, which mirror political, economic and historical developments.
If the "religious revolution" thesis cannot be substantiated, they make
an important contribution to the history of religion of Persian Period
Palestine/Israel with its nuanced discussion of Stern’s thesis and the
new synopsis it offers of the material, and especially pictorial,
culture of the period.
