Endnote 1 – Why Paul Went West

The scholarship in this article is based on a book in German and two articles in English by my colleague Arye Edrei (from the faculty of law at Tel Aviv University) and myself, as follows: Doron Mendels and Arye Edrei, Zweierlei Diaspora. Zur Spaltung der antiken jüdischen Welt (Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2010); Arye Edrei and Doron Mendels, “A Split Jewish Diaspora: Its Dramatic Consequences,” Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha, vol. 16, no. 2 (2007), pp. 91–137; and Arye Edrei and Doron Mendels, “A Split Jewish Diaspora: Its Dramatic Consequences II,” Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha, vol. 17, no. 3 (2008), pp. 163–187. In addition, see Doron Mendels, “Pagan or Jewish? The Presentation of Paul’s Mission in the Book of Acts,” in Doron Mendels, Identity, Religion and Historiography (Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1998), pp. 394–419, and Doron Mendels, The Media Revolution of Early Christianity (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1999).
