Rezensionen

"I find this a provocative, stimulating study. This is a significant and exciting contribution to the growing field of interdisciplinary scholarship that explores the influence of Greek culture on the Hebrew Bible. It should be of interest to a number of audiences, those interested in the Hebrew Bible, classicists, comparatists, philosophers and political scientists."

- Bruce Louden, The University of Texas at El Paso, USA



"Gmirkin's book is a richly detailed (form and motif), historical comparison of Ancient Near Eastern, Greek, and Pentateuchal law collections that comes as a welcome addition to his 2006 work Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus."

- Journal of Theological Studies



"... [a] very interesting and well documented study"
