This collection of essays seeks to demonstrate that many biblical
authors deliberately used Classical and Hellenistic Greek texts for
inspiration when crafting many of the narratives in the Primary
History. Through detailed analysis of the text, Gnuse contends that
there are numerous examples of clear influence from late classical
and Hellenistic literature. Deconstructing the biblical and Greek
works in parallel, he argues that there are too many similarities
in basic theme, meaning, and detail, for them to be accounted for
by coincidence or shared ancient tropes. Using this evidence, he
suggests that although much of the text may originate from the
Persian period, large parts of its final form likely date from the
Hellenistic era. With the help of an original introduction and
final chapter, Gnuse pulls his essays together into a coherent
collection for the first time. The resultant volume offers a
valuable resource for anyone working on the dating of the Hebrew
Bible, as well as those working on Hellenism in the ancient Levant
more broadly.
