Reviews

""Friesen has very ably and convincingly illustrated a crucial component in the critical engagement of Judaism and Christianity with Hellenic culture. His book significantly contributes, furthermore, to a much larger ongoing scholarly conversation over the extent to which Jewish and Christian interpreters recognized dramatic elements even within scriptural revelation itself, such that the mimesis of drama depended not solely on exploiting the classical pagan masters but also imitating the biblical authors as they conveyed tragic and comic features in sacred history."" - Journal of Theological Studies ""[...] the book illustrates the more varied relationship between Jews, Christians, and the ancient stage. This is both a welcome scholarly contribution and a necessary foundation for further work into the implications of this complex and multifaceted relationship."" – Bryn Mawr Classical Review
