Russell E. Gmirkin is a writer, researcher, and Dead Sea Scrolls scholar living in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus: Hellenistic Histories and the Date of the Pentateuch (2006).
"In this book, Russell E. Gmirkin has produced a brilliant
demonstration of the Hebrew Bible’s dependence on Plato’s Laws,
with a focus on the Pentateuch. The demonstration is remarkably
clear and convincing, and I am confidant that the theory proposed
will be discussed favourably among biblical scholars, and also
among classical and philosophical scholars."- Philippe Wajdenbaum,
previously Lecturer at the Institute of Advanced Studies,
Belgium
"I find this a provocative, stimulating study. This is a
significant and exciting contribution to the growing field of
interdisciplinary scholarship that explores the influence of Greek
culture on the Hebrew Bible. It should be of interest to a number
of audiences, those interested in the Hebrew Bible, classicists,
comparatists, philosophers and political scientists." - Bruce
Louden, The University of Texas at El Paso, USA"Gmirkin's book is a
richly detailed (form and motif), historical comparison of Ancient
Near Eastern, Greek, and Pentateuchal law collections that comes as
a welcome addition to his 2006 work Berossus and Genesis, Manetho
and Exodus." - Journal of Theological Studies"... [a] very
interesting and well documented study" - Étienne Nodet, French
Biblical and Archeological School of Jerusalem, Israel, Revue
Biblique, 2018
