Publisher's Synopsis
The Jewish Apologetic to the Grecian World in the Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphical Literature is a book written by Isaac George Matthews in 1914. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Jewish apologetic literature that was created in response to the Hellenization of Jewish culture during the Hellenistic period. Matthews examines various apocryphal and pseudepigraphical texts, including the Wisdom of Solomon, Tobit, and the Book of Enoch, to uncover the ways in which Jewish writers sought to defend their faith and traditions against the influence of Greek thought and philosophy. The book also explores the ways in which Jewish apologetic literature influenced early Christian thought and doctrine. Matthews' work is a valuable resource for scholars of Jewish and Christian history, as well as those interested in the history of ancient Greek philosophy and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
