Jews in the Hellenistic World: Josephus, Aristeas, the Sibylline Oracles, Eupolemus

This book aims to introduce the work of Hellenistic Jewish writers of the period 200 BC to AD 200. Using Greek, not Hebrew or Aramaic, and conscious of the position of Jews in the Graeco-Roman world, they wished to demonstrate that their cultural and religious heritage stood comparison with the Graeco-Roman tradition and that Jews were neither so philosophically naive nor so politically troublesome as they were often supposed to be.Bartlett, John R. is the author of 'Jews in the Hellenistic World: Josephus, Aristeas, the Sibylline Oracles, Eupolemus', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521285513 and ISBN 0521285518.
