Description

The encounter between Jews and Greeks had a profound impact on the ancient world, transforming politics, economics, culture, and religion. Victor Tcherikover's comprehensive assessment of this pivotal meeting offers valuable insights into two significant episodes in Jewish history: the events leading to the Maccabean rebellion and the struggle for rights in Alexandria.

This reprinted edition includes a new preface by University of Chicago Professor John J. Collins, providing additional context and depth to Tcherikover's analysis. With its unique blend of historical analysis and cultural understanding, this book provides a benchmark assessment of the Hellenistic period and its enduring influence on Jewish history.
