Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book investigates the relationship between ancient Greek and Roman literature and the myths of the New Testament. The author argues that the New Testament writers were heavily influenced by the literary conventions of their time, and that their writings can be better understood when read in this context. The author provides extensive analysis of the relevant cultural and historical background, as well as close readings of the relevant Biblical texts. The author argues that the Messianic secret and the concept of the Kingdom of God are rooted in the popular literature and mythology of the Hellenistic age. This book offers a provocative challenge to traditional understandings of the Gospels and their relationship to ancient Greek and Roman literature, shedding new light on one of the most important religious works in the West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
