505 0  Setting the stage -- pt. I. Early Jewish responses to 
       Homeric scholarship. A conservative reaction to critical 
       scholarship in the Letter of Aristeas -- Questions and

       colleagues -- Aristobulus' questions and answers as a tool
       for philosophical instruction -- pt. II. Critical Homeric 
       scholarship in the fragments of Philo's anonymous 
       colleagues. Comparative mythology -- Historical 
       perspectives on scripture -- Traces of text criticism 
       among Alexandrian Jews -- pt. III. The inversion of 
       Homeric scholarship by Philo. Literal methods of Homeric 
       scholarship in Philo's Allegorical commentary -- Philo's 
       Questions and answers as a manual of instruction -- 
       Philo's Exposition of the law at a significant distance 
       from Alexandrian scholarship. 
520    "Systematically reading Jewish exegesis in light of 
       Homeric scholarship, this book argues that more than 2000 
       years ago Alexandrian Jews developed critical and literary
       methods of Bible interpretation which are still extremely 
       relevant today. Maren Niehoff provides a detailed analysis
       of Alexandrian Bible interpretation, from the second 
       century BCE through newly discovered fragments to the 
       exegetical work done by Philo. Niehoff shows that 
       Alexandrian Jews responded in a great variety of ways to 
       the Homeric scholarship developed at the Museum. Some 
       Jewish scholars used the methods of their Greek colleagues
       to investigate whether their Scripture contained myths 
       shared by other nations, while others insisted that 
       significant differences existed between Judaism and other 
       cultures. This book is vital for any student of ancient 
       Judaism, early Christianity and Hellenistic culture"--
