This compilation of essays by leading patristics scholars examines how early Greek-speaking Christians read, interpreted, and transmitted the Scriptures. It explores Hellenistic influences on early Christian exegesis, theology, and textual traditions. Edited and translated by Paul M. Blowers, this work is an essential resource for students of patristics and biblical history. The bibliographies aprovide a rich reference for further research. Most of the content was translated and revised from the French volume Le Monde Grec Ancien et la Bible (1984), Volume 1 of the series Bible de Tous les Temps.
