Overview

Since a number of scholars at the Pontifical Biblical Institute have made important contributions to the study of the New Testament in the context of the Greco-Roman world, it seemed appropriate to devote this volume commemorating the centennial of the Biblicum (1909-2009) to that subject. This book contains nine essays by scholars from Europe, the United States, Australia and Jerusalem, each exploring the ways in which aspects of the New Testament can be illuminated by recourse to Greco-Roman texts.

Reviews

""In conclusione, possiamo dire che questo quarto volume completa degnamente la serie delle pubblicazioni commemorative: lungi dal presentarsi come un testo semplicemente «celebrativo», offre una serie di preziose riflessioni sul tema affrontato, mostrando gli innumerevoli punti di contatto tra la cultura greco-romana e gli autori del Nuovo Testamento, e aprendo al tempo stesso nuove piste di ricerca."" SEBASTIANO PINTO, Gregorianum, 96 (2015).
