Collected Studies on Philo and Josephus (Studia Aarhusiana Neotestamentica

by Eve-Marie Becker, Morten H Jensen (Editor), Jacob Mortensen (Editor)

Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus are amongst the most influential ancient writers. In his long scholarly career, Per Bilde (1939-2014) published various essays, studies and articles examining early Judaism and the historical Jesus from the angle of the work of Philo and Josephus. Many of the articles contain in-depth treatment of primary sources, and thus are of great value for scholars to come. The studies in this volume have yet been compiled by Per Bilde himself. They are now edited posthumously with contributions from Steve Mason (Groningen) and Mogens M|ller (Copenhagen) responding to Bilde's work.
