This comparative study contrasts the two fountainheads of Western culture, the Hebrew and Greek civilizations, in ten major areas common to both civilizations. Sinai and Olympus is based on a synthesis of the best recent scholarship of various specialists and contains analyses of primary sources examined from a comparative perspective that illuminates new dimensions of each civilization.
