Reseña del editor

This comparative study contrasts the two fountainheads of Western culture, the Hebrew and Greek civilizations, in ten major areas common to both civilizations. Sinai and Olympus is based on a synthesis of the best recent scholarship of various specialists and contains analyses of primary sources examined from a comparative perspective that illuminates new dimensions of each civilization.
