Description

Book Synopsis
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. It illustrates how the encounter between Athens and Jerusalem became a lightning rod for intellectual concerns.

Trade Review
"An extraordinarily rich and multilayered book that is at once intellectual history, reception studies, and philosophical-cum-philological inquiry. A remarkable achievement." (Elizabeth Wingrove, University of Michigan)"
