Comments: Greek Culture in the Roman World

How does literary form change as Christianity and rabbinic Judaism take shape? What is the impact of literary tradition and the new pressures of religious thinking? Tracing a journey over the first millennium that includes works in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic, this book changes our understanding of late antiquity and how its literary productions make a significant contribution to the cultural changes that have shaped western Europe.

Introduces a broad range of literature never before studied together that throws crucial light on the development of Western culture
Shows how crucial and influential texts have been ignored by the formation of modern disciplines
Employs a brilliant new methodological exposition of how literary form changes due to religious changes
