Plumbing the historical record, Winter shows that while these contemporary Hellenistic Jews both responded to the sophistic movement on the basis of the Old Testament, Philo was also indebted to Plato for his assessment, whereas Paul filtered the Old Testament texts through the message of Jesus. This valuable study provides crucial insights into the nature of Paul's sterling rhetoric as well as the problems that the sophistic movement created for Diaspora Jews in Alexandria and for the early Christians in Corinth.   Reader's Index Send us your favorite quotes or passages from this book.   About the Author Director of the Institute of Early Christianity in the Graeco-Roman World, Tyndale House in Cambridge, a Fellow of St. Edmund’s College, and a member of the Divinity Faculty at the University of Cambridge.
