"These essays are drawn from three volumes titled "Israel and Hellas". ancient religion. ancient philosophy. ancient history. ancient literature. archaeology. anthropology. mythology. ~ The Israelites and the Greeks formed "the first free societies, cultivating rain~watered fields around a fortified citadel, recording their words about the human situation in a widely accessible alphabetic script." With a keen eye for both comparisons and contrasts, John Pairrnan Brown investigates relationships between ancient Israel and Greece. In this intriguing and engaging work, he addresses historical, religious, linguistic, and cultural connections.
