The book aims to provide a solid basis to those readers of the Bible interested in revisiting its evaluation as a sample of texts, both on the linguistic and on the literary side. Besides a Hebrew product, given the social, anthropological, religious, economic, and geographic tradition to which they are related, their linguistic and literary background also point to a Greek tradition. This study will interest first of all the scholars working in the history of the Greek language in the Imperial Age, very often devoted to the problems of linguistic contact. The book offers valuable information indeed for people of multiple interests: history of religion, translation studies, and Imperial Greek literature. But we envisage a much wider audience, since the language of Jesus, the apostles and generally the first Christians has been a controversial matter that every year adds new contributions to the extant literature.

The author is Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of Valencia, Spain. His main interest is the history of the Greek language. He has published over twenty books, including the critical editions of the orators Antiphon, Andocides and Alcidamas. Other publications include more than two-hundred articles and reviews and a dozen edited books. The research subjects developed along his career are related to the study of Greek rhetoric, Greek religion, and the reception of Greek literature.
