Dodd C.H. The Bible and the Greeks

Hodder and Stoughton, 1935. — 264 p.The following studies are...were undertaken from a desire to find firm footing in certain parts of that wide field which is commonly referred to as "the background of early Christianity". They are offered in the first place to my fellow-students of the New Testament, but not without the hope that they may be of use to others who are interested in the thought of the Graeco-Roman world in general. Much of the material here published was used in Grinfield Lectures on the Septuagint, delivered in the University of Oxford in the years 1927 - 31, but it has been worked over in the light of further study. Chapter V. was first published in the Journal of Theological Studies, Vol. XXXIL, No.128, and is reproduced by permission of the publishers.
