Did the Bible only take its definitive form after Alexander
conquered the Near East, after the Hellenisation of the Samaritans
and Jews, and after the founding of the great library of
Alexandria? The Bible and Hellenism takes up one of the most
pressing and controversial questions of Bible Studies today: the
influence of classical literature on the writing and formation of
the Bible. Bringing together a wide range of international
scholars, The Bible and Hellenism explores the striking parallels
between biblical and earlier Greek literature and examines the
methodological issues raised by such comparative study. The book
argues that the oral traditions of historical memory are not the
key factor in the creation of biblical narrative. It demonstrates
that Greek texts - from such authors as Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus
and Plato - must be considered amongst the most important sources
for the Bible.
