History, Culture, and Religion of the Hellenistic Age
Author: Helmut KoesterPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110814064
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
While the first American edition of this book, published more than a decade ago, was a revised translation of the German book, Einführung in das Neue Testament, this second edition of the first volume of the Introduction to the New Testament is no longer dependent upon a previously published German work. The author hopes that for the student of the New Testament it is a useful introduction into the many complex aspects of the political, cultural, and religious developments that characterized the world in which early Christianity arose and by which the New Testament and other early Christian writings were shaped.
The Development of Greek Biography
Author: Arnaldo MomiglianoPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674200418
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Arnaldo Momigliano traces the growth of ancient biography from the fifth century to the first century B.C. He asks new questions about the origins and development of Greek biography, and makes full use of new evidence uncovered in recent decades from papyri and other sources. By clarifying the social and intellectual implication of the fact that the Greeks kept biography and autobiography distinct from historiography, he contributes to an understanding of a basic dichotomy in the Western tradition of historical writing. The Development of Greek Biography is fully annotated, and includes a bibliography designed to serve as an introduction to the study of biography in general.
