From Alexander to Jesus Hellenistic Culture and Society, Vol. 52
Language: English
Published by University of California Press, 2010
ISBN 10: 0520266366 ISBN 13: 9780520266360
Seller: The Anthropologists Closet, West Des Moines, IA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New hardcover with beige cloth over boards with gilt lettering to spine in a new dust jacket. 8vo. (6 x 1 x 9 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. Includes appendices [3], notes, references and an index. 262 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Scholars have long recognized the relevance to Christianity of the many stories surrounding the life of Alexander the Great, who claimed to be the son of Zeus. But until now, no comprehensive effort has been made to connect the mythic life and career of Alexander to the stories about Jesus and to the earliest theology of the nascent Christian churches. Ory Amitay delves into a wide range of primary texts in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew to trace Alexander as a mythological figure, from his relationship to his ancestor and rival, Herakles, to the idea of his divinity as the son of a god. In compelling detail, Amitay illuminates both Alexander's links to Herakles and to two important and enduring ideas: that of divine sonship and that of reconciliation among peoples.

Alexander the Great in Jerusalem (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2025
ISBN 10: 0198929528 ISBN 13: 9780198929529
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Alexander the Great in Jerusalem: Myth and History discusses four different stories told in antiquity about the meeting between Alexander the Great and the Judeans of Jerusalem. In history, this meeting passed without noticeable events. Into the historical void stepped various Judean storytellers, who wrote not what was, but what could (or even should) have been. The tradition as a whole deals with an issue that resurfaced time andagain in ancient Judean history: conquest and regime installment by new foreign rulers. It does so by using Alexander as a cipher for a current Hellenistic and Roman foreign rule. The earliest version can betraced to the context of the Seleukid monarch Antiochos III "the Great", and postulates a Judean text from that time that has been hitherto unknown, and which survived in a Byzantine recension (epsilon) of the Alexander Romance. The second and third chapters turn to rabbinic sources, and deal with the Judean approaches and attitudes towards Roman occupation and rule, first at the advent of Pompey and then at the institution of Provincia ludaea at the expense of the Herodian dynasty. The finalstory is the most famous, previously considered the earliest, rather than the latest; that of Josephus. Alexander the Great in Jerusalem demonstrates how the historical traditionconsistently maintained the moral and sacral superiority of the Jerusalem temple and of Judaism, making Alexander either embrace monotheism or prostrate himself before the Judean high priest. This not only bolstered Judean self-confidence under conditions of military and political inferiority, but also brought the changing foreign rulers into the fold of Judean sacred history. This book discusses four stories told in antiquity about the meeting between Alexander the Great and the Judeans of Jerusalem. It demonstrates how the historical tradition used Alexander to bolster Judean self-confidence under conditions of military and political inferiority and to absorb the changing foreign rulers into their sacred history.
