Monday, 30 Apr 1990. (2) Date: Sun, 29 Apr 90 12:48:57 EDT (31 lines) From: "Steve Mason, co-ordinator" Subject: IOUDAIOS, a new list Fellow Humanists: IOUDAIOS (Greek for "Jew") is an electronic seminar devoted to the exploration of first-century Judaism; its special interest is in the writings of Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus. The list began as an informal discussion of two papers by Robert A. Kraft (Penn- sylvania) but has quickly blossomed into an international forum, with participants in North America, Europe and the U.K., the Middle East, and Australia. The Philonic and Josephan corpora are extensive enough that they invite many kinds of analysis -- literary, philological, historical, and philosophical/theological, to name a few. And there is considerable interest among group members in the social realities that lie behind these texts. New members are welcome. The discussion assumes a significant background in first-century Judaism as well as some knowledge of ancient Greek.
