Book Synopsis
"What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?" Posed by the early Christian Tertullian, the question was vigorously debated in the nineteenth century. Taking on the question of how the glories of the classical world could be reconciled with the Bible, this book explains how Judaism played a vital role in defining modern philhellenism.

Trade Review
"A brief review can only testify to the richness of Leonard's readings of her primary sources and the book's many surprises and insights, all based on a profound grasp of the vast secondary literature.... Highly recommended." (Choice)"
