Deconstructing the biblical and Greek works in parallel, he argues that there are too many similarities in basic theme, meaning, and detail, for them to be accounted for by coincidence or shared ancient tropes. Using this evidence, he suggests that although much of the text may originate from the Persian period, large parts of its final form likely date from the Hellenistic era.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the help of an original introduction and final chapter, Gnuse pulls his essays together into a coherent collection for the first time. The resultant volume offers a valuable resource for anyone working on the dating of the Hebrew Bible, as well as those working on Hellenism in the ancient Levant more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Karl Gnuse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036746246X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367462468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Robert Karl Gnuse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056001904895,"sku":"9780367462468","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_715bc949-54f6-4602-8233-66b78c6cb607.jpg?v=1685038996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hellenism-and-the-primary-history-robert-karl-gnuse-9780367462468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
