Before The Bible: The Common Background Of Greek And Hebrew Civilizations

Before The Bible: The Common Background Of Greek And Hebrew Civilizations is a book written by Cyrus Herzl Gordon that explores the similarities and differences between the ancient Greek and Hebrew civilizations. The author argues that both civilizations shared a common cultural background that influenced their development, and that this common background can be traced back to the ancient Near East. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of writing, the development of religion, the emergence of law and government, and the evolution of art and literature. Through a detailed analysis of archaeological evidence and historical documents, Gordon provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural and intellectual achievements of these two ancient civilizations. The book is aimed at scholars and students of ancient history, as well as anyone interested in the roots of Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
