    Uniform Title: Sitting with scorners: Jewish attitudes toward Roman spectacle entertainment
    Content: In diesem Buch beschreibt Loren R. Spielman die Beschäftigung der Juden mit Theater, Sport, Pferderennen, Gladiatoren- und Bestien-Schauen in der Antike. In seiner Arbeit nimmt er Bezug auf jüdische Schauspieler und Athleten, Organisatoren und Stücke der Antike und analysiert rabbinische und andere frühjüdische Kritiken von Sport und Spektakel.
    Content: Countering the traditional belief that Jews in antiquity were predominantly disinterested in the popular entertainments of the Greek and Roman world, Loren R. Spielmanmaps the varieties of Jewish engagement with theater, athletics, horse racing, gladiatorial, and beast shows in antiquity. The author argues that Jews from Hellenistic Alexandria to late antique Sepphoris enjoyed and exploited, or alternatively resisted and scorned, popular forms of public entertainment as they adapted to the political, social, and religious realities of imperial rule. Including references to ancient Jewish actors, athletes, promoters, and plays alongside analysis of rabbinic and other early Jewish critique of sport and spectacle, Loren R. Spielmandescribes the different ways that attitudes towards entertainment might have played a role in shaping ancient Jewish identity.
