Scripta Antiqua 152.
Is the idea that Jews were proud to contribute their wealth to the cult of Jerusalem, but deeply hostile to foreign tribute, historical? By exploring a variety of sources and drawing on a transdisciplinary methodology, this book seeks to place ancient Judean taxation within the context of political history. Since taxation is a manifestation of sovereignty, some Jewish groups question whether it is permissible to pay tribute to a foreign master in addition to the obligatory offering made to God. This question has nothing to do with economics; it is purely political.
