The period covered by this text is of supreme importance for the links it provides between the world recorded in the Hebrew scriptures and the very different worlds of Greece and Rome. Russell investigates the history, religion, and literature of the period and reveals the deep influence that Hellenistic culture had, for good and ill, on the life and faith of the Jews. He shows how Hellenism and Judaism alternately clashed and compromised, with momentous results both for Judaism and for the early Christian church.
