1953

Martin David Goodman, FBA (born 1 August 1953) is a British historian and academic, specialising in Roman history and the history and literature of the Jews in the Roman period.

Goodman was born into an English Jewish family.

Goodman noted that "[t]he family practised little beyond a Sabbath-eve dinner each Friday, an annual family Seder and occasional attendance at services in Bevis Marks Synagogue."

Goodman's paternal grandfather was the secretary of the London congregation of the Iberian Jews for many years.

Goodman was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, (B.A.) where he studied classical language and literature, ancient history and philosophy (Literae Humaniores).

B. Weinstein, professor emeritus at Howard University describes the work as a "page turner" because of its clarity and style.

Weinstein also notes that Goodman has provided a huge number of primary sources.

Rose Mary Sheldon offers a more critical review.

Recognising his expertise in both Roman and Jewish history, Sheldon comments that while the text is clear and logical it uses minimal footnotes and is aimed towards a general audience.

Sheldon also claims that Goodman's arguments in favour of a lack of conflict between Romans and Jews between 6-60 CE "do not hold water".

Sheldon does conclude that Goodman has written an accurate historical survey of Roman-Jewish relations.

Publishers Weekly observes that Goodman has backed his account with archaeological evidence and ancient commentary with the result of producing a "scholarly tour de force".

Jay Freeman in Booklist holds Goodman's work to be a "definitive account" for historians of both the Roman and Jewish worlds.

Freeman also states that Goodman has convincingly illuminated the role of the Jewish-Roman conflict in shaping relations between Jews and Christians.

David Noy of the University of Wales, Lampeter describes in The Journal of Roman Studies that the picture portrayed in the book is a "compelling one".

However, Noy criticizes Goodman's over reliance on Josephus.

Erich S. Gruen gives a highly positive review and recommends this book for it "demands attention" because it is a "sweeping survey" that aims to reach an audience beyond academia.

Describing Goodman as "too good a historian" he observes that Goodman has approached the subject in a "masterly fashion".

Gruen's conclusion is that Goodman is committed to "thorough and scrupulous" scholarship.
