Papers collected in this volume try to illuminate various aspects
of philosophical theology dealt with by different Jewish and early
Christian authors and texts (e.g. the Acts of the Apostles, Philo,
Origen, Gregory of Nazianzus), rooted in and influenced by the
Hellenistic religious, cultural, and philosophical context, and
they also focus on the literary and cultural traditions of
Hellenized Judaism and its reception (e.g. Sibylline Oracles,
Prayer of Manasseh), including material culture ("Elephant Mosaic
Panel" from Huqoq synagogue). By studying the Hellenistic
influences on early Christianity, both in response to and in
reaction against early Hellenized Judaism, the volume intends not
only to better understand Christianity, as a religious and
historical phenomenon with a profound impact on the development of
European civilization, but also to better comprehend Hellenism and
its consequences which have often been relegated to the realm of
political history.
