But until now, no comprehensive effort has been made to connect the mythic life and career of Alexander to the stories about Jesus and to the earliest theology of the nascent Christian churches. Ory Amitay delves into a wide range of primary texts in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew to trace Alexander as a mythological figure, from his relationship to his ancestor and rival, Herakles, to the idea of his divinity as the son of a god. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004067 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|vLegends.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh87005477 600 00 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004067|xInfluence.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002005444 600 00 Jesus Christ.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79084784 600 04 Alexander,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|cthe Great|vLegends |xInfluence. 600 04 Jesus Christ|vLegends|xInfluence. 600 07 Alexander,|cthe Great,|d356 B.C.-323 B.C.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1800513 600 07 Jesus Christ.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/40116 647 7 Macedonian Expansion|c(Greece :|d359-323 B.C.)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1353599 648 7 359-323 B.C|2fast 650 0 Generals|zGreece|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008105100 650 0 Christianity.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025219 650 0 Church history.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025619 650 7 Generals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/939841 650 7 Kings and rulers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 987694 650 7 Christianity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/859599 650 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/860740 651 0 Greece|xKings and rulers|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008105101 651 0 Greece|xHistory|yMacedonian Expansion, 359-323 B.C.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85057087 651 7 Greece.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1208380 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Legends.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423803 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 Legends.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms /gf2014026407 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAmitay, Ory.|tFrom Alexander to Jesus. |dBerkeley : University of California Press, ©2010 |z9780520266360|w(DLC) 2009049416|w(OCoLC)473123558 830 0 Hellenistic culture and society ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n86708921|v52. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=351756|zOnline eBook.
