This volume contains 28 essays in honor of Abraham J. Malherbe,
whose work has been especially influential in exploring modes of
cultural interaction between early Jews and Christians and their
Graeco-Roman neighbours. Following an introductory essay on the
problems inherent to such comparative studies in the history of New
Testament scholarship, the essays are grouped into five topic
areas: Graphos - semantics and writing, Ethos - ethics and moral
characterization, Logos - rhetoric and literary expression, Ethnos
- self-definition and acculturation, and Nomos - law and normative
values. Some key examples are studies dealing with The Greek Idea
of "Divine Nature" and its relation to the "Divine Man" tradition;
Compilation of Letters in Cicero's collection; Radical Altruism in
Paul; Greek Ideas of Concord and Cosmic Harmony in 1 Clement; The
Rhetorical Use of Friendship Motifs in Galatians in comparison with
Second Sophistic Orators; Wills and Testaments in Graeco-Roman
perspective.
