Grosby (emer., Clemson Univ.) fulfills his commitment to narrow the meaning of the term Hebraism to define a culture alongside classicism and Christianity, within Christendom, and to determine whether Hebraic culture emerges as useful heuristically to understanding post-Reformation history. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
