A magisterial history of the titanic struggle between the Roman and Jewish worlds that led to the destruction of Jerusalem.

Martin Goodman—equally renowned in Jewish and in Roman studies—examines this conflict, its causes, and its consequences with unprecedented authority and thoroughness. He delineates the incompatibility between the cultural, political, and religious beliefs and practices of the two peoples and explains how Rome's interests were served by a policy of brutality against the Jews. At the same time, Christians began to distance themselves from their origins, becoming increasingly hostile toward Jews as Christian influence spread within the empire. This is the authoritative work of how these two great civilizations collided and how the reverberations are felt to this day.

这是一部关于罗马和犹太世界之间导致耶路撒冷毁灭的巨大斗争的巨著。

马丁-古德曼（Martin Goodman）在犹太人和罗马人的研究中同样享有盛名，他以前所未有的权威性和彻底性研究了这场冲突、其原因以及其后果。他描述了这两个民族的文化、政治和宗教信仰与习俗之间的不相容性，并解释了罗马的利益是如何通过对犹太人的残暴政策来实现的。同时，基督徒开始远离他们的起源，随着基督教的影响在帝国内的传播，他们对犹太人的敌意越来越强。这是关于这两个伟大的文明如何碰撞以及如何回响到今天的权威性作品。
