In this acceptance speech, Maren Niehoff provides an exemplary insight into her innovative studies on the relationship between Jewish and Hellenistic culture in antiquity. Using the reception of Alexander the Great in Greco-Roman, Jewish-Hellenistic and rabbinic literature, she paradigmatically demonstrates the interrelationships and negotiation processes between Judaism and Hellenism.
We are fortunate to have Prof. Niehoff visiting St. Andrews this week. She gave a fascinating lecture in the School of Divinity yesterday on Paul's and Philo's developing concepts of law.
