Himmelfarb, Martha
Martha Himmelfarb
Martha Himmelfarb
(born 1952) is an American scholar of religion. Her areas of focus include the
Second Temple period
in Jewish history, Jewish and Christian
apocalyptic literature
,
Hekhalot literature
,
early Christianity
, early
rabbinic Judaism
after the fall of the Second Temple, and the
Jewish priesthood
. She became an academic at
Princeton University
in New Jersey in 1978, and eventually acquired the
named chair
of William H. Danforth Professor of Religion. She took on emeritus status at Princeton in 2022. Much of Himmelfarb's work is on the intersection of
Hellenistic Judaism
,
Jewish Christianity
, and early Christianity in general; she considers older approaches to have overly downplayed early Christianity's Jewish roots and Jewish influences, and advocates that the wider
split between Judaism and Christianity
occurred more slowly and gradually than traditional views portrayed it.
