Description

Hellenism in the Land of Israel, edited by John J. Collins and Gregory E. Sterling. Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2001. Pp. ix + 343. $45.00/$18.95. The twelve essays in this volume were originally presented at a conference held in 1999 at the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame. The conference and this publication were intended, at least in part, to celebrate the achievements of Martin Hengel in his pioneering works Judaism and Hellenism: Studies in Their Encounter in Palestine during the Early Hellenistic Period (2 vols. [1974]; first appeared in German in 1969) and The 'Hellenization' of Judaea in the First Century after Christ (1989). Hengel himself contributed the first article ("Judaism and Hellenism Revisited"), wherein he restated his theses originally expounded in the above-noted works.
