Description

Argonauts of the Desert offers a revolutionary commentary on the origins of the Bible. This scholarly work explores the theory that many biblical stories and laws were inspired by Greek literature. Moving through the books from Genesis to Kings, the text examines the possibility that a Hellenized Judean scholar served as a single author for these texts. This analysis suggests that biblical Israel was a recreation of the twelve tribes State, modeled after Plato's ideal state found in The Laws. By examining the birth, life, and death of this State, the book provides a new perspective on how Greek epics influenced biblical narratives. Readers will find a deep comparison between biblical material and Greek or Roman sources, making this an essential addition to any collection of ancient history and civilization studies.
