Overview

Scripture Parallels in Ancient Classics brings together the thoughts of ancient poets and philosophers from the Greek and Roman eras. Crauford Tait Ramage suggests that the written approach of these authors appears so closely tied to Christian truths that the educated Greeks and Romans must have been influenced by Hebrew Scripture. By relating Scripture to the likes of Plato, Cicero, Socrates, and many more, Ramage takes into account the Christian parallels of their literature and how such passages had an impact on the educated Greeks and Romans.

The digital edition of Scripture Parallels in Ancient Classics is designed to enhance your study and understanding of the relationship between ancient writings and the Bible. Scripture passages link directly to your English translations and original-language texts, and important theological concepts link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library.

Lacks the sort of depth it could have. Here's a few examples: 1 Cor. 15:33 points to parallels in Theognis, Euripides, Aeschylus, Menander, Seneca, Diodorus Siculus, and Plutarch... But for some reason it leaves out Plato (cf. Rep. book 9, IIRC) and Aristotle (Nic. E. 9.12)--two of the most important classical thinkers. Another sort of deficiency is where certain Scripture references that could have parallels aren't given any parallels. For instance, 1 Peter 5:5 and Cicero (On Duties 1.34) or Proverbs 22:6 and Cicero (On Duties 1.32). Thus, it seems this book is okay as a broad, but shallow, sampling of parallels in ancient classics.
