C. Toussaint examines Paul as a hybrid of both Jewish and early Christian traditions meeting at the crossroads of a commonly-shared Hellenistic culture. Discussed are historical accounts of Greek culture and its assimilation of foreign elements, the state of Hellenism under the Claudians, and Paul's dual role as a Hellenized Jew and a Greek-Christian Apostle. An insightful read, this work will appeal to readers of the classics, comparative religion, Hellenic studies, and philosophy.
