Systematically reading Jewish exegesis in light of Homeric
scholarship, this book argues that more than 2000 years ago
Alexandrian Jews developed critical and literary methods of Bible
interpretation which are still extremely relevant today. Maren R.
Niehoff provides a detailed analysis of Alexandrian Bible
interpretation, from the second century BCE through newly
discovered fragments to the exegetical work done by Philo. Niehoff
shows that Alexandrian Jews responded in a great variety of ways to
the Homeric scholarship developed at the Museum. Some Jewish
scholars used the methods of their Greek colleagues to investigate
whether their Scripture contained myths shared by other nations,
while others insisted that significant differences existed between
Judaism and other cultures. This book is vital for any student of
ancient Judaism, early Christianity and Hellenistic culture.
