This dissertation is a study of Late Antique Jewish and Christian explanations for the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 CE. Looking beyond the immediate suffering and turmoil that resulted, I consider the religious explanations for the razing of God's symbolic dwelling place that were offered by writers living in the land of Israel in the few centuries that followed. I demonstrate how Jews and Christians re-cast a military and political event in religious terms in order to buttress the beliefs of their communities. I focus on the apologetic functions of their explanations, and explore the ways in which they interpret the destruction in order to prove (in the case of Christians) or make it impossible to disprove (in the case of Jews) that their community is the people of God.

520 $a This dissertation is a study of Late Antique Jewish and Christian explanations for the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 CE. Looking beyond the immediate suffering and turmoil that resulted, I consider the religious explanations for the razing of God's symbolic dwelling place that were offered by writers living in the land of Israel in the few centuries that followed. I demonstrate how Jews and Christians re-cast a military and political event in religious terms in order to buttress the beliefs of their communities. I focus on the apologetic functions of their explanations, and explore the ways in which they interpret the destruction in order to prove (in the case of Christians) or make it impossible to disprove (in the case of Jews) that their community is the people of God.
520 $a In part one, I analyze three Christian texts composed during the second to fourth centuries: Justin's Dialogue with Trypho, Origen's Contra Celsum, and Eusebius' Proof of the Gospel. Though scholars have often overlooked the significance of the destruction to early Christian writers, I demonstrate its centrality to these authors' arguments for the legitimacy of Gentile Christianity, and especially for the claim that Christians have taken the place of Jews in God's covenant. In part two, I analyze the contemporary Rabbinic Midrash on Lamentations. While some midrashim affirm a traditional theodicy that blames Israel's suffering on their sins, I gather other midrashim that challenge and even reject this explanation. My focus is on apologetic claims, and some Rabbis' attempts to use this event to defend the piety of Israel in the face of the destruction, with some going so far as to blame God for Israel's suffering.
520 $a My conclusion situates these explanations in the context of the fluid and unsettled period when two independent religious traditions were emerging. I review the claims that are made in these texts and consider what was at stake for the authors. I also discuss the possibility that Jews and Christians, when grappling with the theological implications of this event, are engaged in interreligious polemics with each other.
