Pages: 131-153 Type: Book Section Year: 2005 Abstract: Hellenistic philosophy and Jewish thoughts shared overlapping interest in theology, creation, and ethics. Examining the exegetical tradition of the Jewish literature in the Second Temple, Sterling concludes that Hellenistic philosophy influenced Jewish ethics.
