This short but highly significant study is the first real sequel to Professor Martin Hengel's classic and monumental work Judaism and Hellenism. It demonstrates from a wealth of evidence; much of it made readily available here for the first time; that in the New Testament period Hellenization was so widespread in Palestine that the usual distinction between 'Hellenistic' Judaism and `Palestinian' Judaism is not a valid one and that the word `Hellenistic' and related terms are so vague as to be meaningless. The consequences of this for New Testament study are; of course; considerable. Martin Hengel was Professor of New Testament and Early Judaism in the University of Tuebingen.

There have been other East Asian textbooks which each chapter focuses on a different country in time and it gets very unorganized. What I love with this is how it involves all 3 nations at the same time in one chapter. Yes; chapters are really long; but very informative and are helpful for understanding the interactions between China; Korea; and Japan during a time period. What else I like is even though chapters are bulky; it gets to the point very quickly; and gives important facts in a fast manner. It's very helpful. Even if you're only interested in looking at East Asian history; and not needing it for a class; this is a really good book to get information from.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Download Limits; copyright rip-off to the consumer; defeats purpose as a reference.By Jerry D. CozbyIf you own more than two kindles or upgrade your kindle; you may need to re-purchase a copy of this book to have it on your new device; even if you deregister an old one (don't waste your time). Not a good enough book to have to repurchase it every time you need a reference or upgrade your device. I will stop using or citing this book as a student or professional reference.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
