David Rokeah suggests that they were marked by ongoing propaganda wars and that the pagan-Jewish polemic served as the foundation of the subsequent pagan-Christian polemic. He proves that the Jews were not a party to the pagan-Christian polemic, but that the Jews' very existence and their independent attitude towards Christianity and paganism alike, their holy writings and those of Ilellenistic Jewry, all helped to shape the pagan-Christian conflict. Against a historical background, the author examines specific philosophical-theological motifs of the polemic, such as religious myth, divine providence, and the election of Israel. A wealth of material from Greek, Latin, and Hebrew sources are presented in a fresh English translation, so as to help the reader sense the spirit of this important age in world history.  aTheology -- Early church4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/9/10/51liPMvtt6L._SX331_BO1_204_203_200_.jpgyCover Image  c8969d8969  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-8969v0.00yBK
