Parents, children, and slaves -- Parents and children in the Jewish family of antiquity / O. Larry Yarbrough -- Parents and children: a philonic perspective / Adele Reinhartz -- Jewish mothers and daughters in the Greco-Roman world / Ross S. Kramer -- Slavery and the ancient Jewish family / Dale B. Martin Part three. Rabbinic law -- Reconsidering the Rabbinic ketubah payment Part four.

Summary: This volume consists of papers (or the offspring of papers) that were delivered by the Hellenistic Judaism section of the 1990 and 1991 annual meetings of the Society for Biblical Literature. In recognition of the fact that so little work had been down on the subject, presenters were not asked to focus on a single set of questions, a single body of evidence, or utilize a single methodology. Rather the goal was to get a sense of the range of possibilities suggested by the topic. The variety in this collection mirrors the variety of our evidence and the variety of questions that can be asked of it.
