The present book includes sixteen studies by Professor Frederick E. Brenk on Plutarch on Literature, Graeco-Roman Religion, Jews and Christians. Of them, thirteen were published earlier in different venues and three appear here for the first time. Written between 2009 and 2022, these studies not only provide an excellent example of Professor Brenk’s incisiveness and deep knowledge of Plutarch; they also provide an excellent overview of Plutarchan studies of the last years on a variety of themes. Indeed, one of the most salient characteristics of Brenk’s scholarship is his constant interaction and conversation with the most recent scholarly literature.

"(...) the collection of articles from beginning to end once again brings home the inspiring, impressive, and exemplary nature of Brenk’s scholarship. Following his example means to always read Plutarch’s works as literature, with attention to plot, characterization, and rhetorical devices, and to fully understand the author as rooted in the highly complex religious and philosophical landscape of the Roman Empire of the first and second centuries CE."
