Deftly edited by Lamontte M.

From the advent of the Sabbath and synagogues to the origin of traditions and developments in spirituality, Passion, Vitality and Foment plumbs the extensive theological evolution of the Jewish faith since ancient times. Passion, Vitality, And Foment is a seminal and highly recommended contribution to Judaic Studies and Old Testament Studies supplemental reading lists and academic reference collections.

This book is very detailed in the explanation of issues during Second Temple Period. It evaluates the aspects involved in the diversification of the time, worship, prayer, and more... Very good book to read, I found it very scholarly.
