The 'Hellenization' of Judaea in the First Century After Christ

Meer over het boek

The study challenges the traditional distinction between 'Hellenistic' and 'Palestinian' Judaism by presenting extensive evidence of widespread Hellenization in Palestine during the New Testament period. It argues that the terms used to describe these categories are vague and often meaningless, significantly impacting the understanding of New Testament studies. This sequel to Martin Hengel's work offers fresh insights and evidence, reshaping perspectives on the cultural and religious dynamics of the time.
