This is the first major study of the \u003ci\u003epist-\u003c\/i\u003e word group in the writings of Josephus.\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book examines the development of a religious understanding of the Greek word group. Special emphasis is given to the religious use of the \u003ci\u003epist-\u003c\/i\u003e words in Classical and Hellenistic Greek, in the Septuagint, in Sirach and in Philo.\u003cbr\u003eThe second and main part of the book deals specifically with the use of the word group - both secular and religious - by Josephus.
