Martin Goodman

Professor, Oxford University

Martin Goodman is professor of Jewish Studies at Oxford University and president of the Oxford Centre for Jewish and Hebrew Studies. He is a fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford and the British Academy. His Rome and Jerusalem, published in 2008, was acknowledged as a landmark in the study of the Jewish people in the Roman Empire and has been translated into six languages. In 2018, Penguin Books published Goodman's A History of Judaism, a truly global interpretation that spans not only the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, but also China, India and America, and one that untangles the threads of doctrinal and philosophical debate running through Jewish history.
