Summary
In this collection of essays, various authors consider the many-sided question of how Israel and ancient Judaism were able to deal with the theological challenge presented by the fact that due to its destruction the temple was no longer available as a religious center or was regarded either as disqualified for religious purposes or - as in the case of the diaspora Jews - was too far away for a concrete participation in the cult. The volume focuses mainly on the epoch of the Second Temple. Analogous approaches and problems are considered in the Rabbinic era, the New Testament, the Early Church, in the Ancient Orient, and in the Greco-Roman world.
