Identity, Religion and Historiography by Doron Mendels PDF Summary

Book Description: The unifying theme of this volume of collected essays is the interrelation between Hellenic culture, Judaism and Christianity. A key focus is the different genres of historiography of the Hellenistic world, from the rationalistic historiography of Polybius through the 'creative' history of Manetho to the very special genre of the book of Acts. Another focus lies on some current challenging issues-Hellenism and Judaism, Hellenistic Sparta, the Essenes, Hellenistic utopias, Roman imperialism in the East, Hellenistic kingship, political and socio-economic relations in Greece, Hellenistic Egypt, and Hellenistic and Christian mission. This book makes an important contribution to the issue of the identities of Greeks, Jews and Christians in the Hellenistic age.
