Description:MOVEMENTS IN JUDAISM- HELLENISM by NORMAN BENTWlCH. Originally published in 1919. The interaction of Judaisrn and Hellenistic culture is then one of the fundamental struggIes in the march of civilization. This book has tried to show the relation of this development to the idea of Catholic Judaism, and has considered the HelIenenistic jewish literature and philosophy from a standpoint of rabbinical tradition.. It is hoped that the account of the conflict of Judaism with the culture of the ancient world may have an interest for the Jewish life of our own day.
