  • Epistolarity, Exhortation, and Apologetics in the Epistle of Aristeas

    L Michael WhiteARTICLEEarly Christianity2015

    Der Aristeasbrief ist früh als literarische Fiktion erkannt und in den Zeitraum vom 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. bis 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. datiert worden. Mit dieser Einschätzung verband sich allerdings eine sehr weitgehende Missachtung der brieflichen Elemente, insbesondere jener, in denen der vorgebliche Autor Aristeas seinen Bruder und Korrespondenzpartner Philokrates anspricht. Zugleich ist der Anlass des Werkes, einen Bericht über die von Ptolema…

  • The Delos Synagogue Revisited Recent Fieldwork in the Graeco-Roman Diaspora

    Open AccessL Michael WhiteARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1987

    Recent studies and archaeological work have focused attention once again on an old problem—the origins and development of the synagogue—by bringing two sides of the issue to light. On the one hand, some studies have reconsidered theories of synagogue origins in the Babylonian, Persian, or Hellenistic periods. The result is that several traditional assumptions typified in the works of Julian Morgenstern, Solomon Zeitlin, George Foot Moore, and Lou…
