The 'Hellenization' of Judea in the First Century after Christ

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the impact of Hellenization in Palestine during the New Testament period, this study challenges the traditional distinction between Hellenistic and Palestinian Judaism. It presents new evidence, much of which is published for the first time, suggesting that Hellenization was pervasive, rendering these terms vague and ineffective. The implications for New Testament scholarship are significant, prompting a reevaluation of established understandings within the context of Jewish and Hellenistic influences.
