The long civil war that destroyed much of the country has had devastating effects on archaeologicalr esearcha nd the preservationo f cultural resources.Y et archaeology in Lebanon is alive and getting well again. Long-time mem- ber of the community of the American University of Beruit, Bill Ward chronicles the ebb and flow of archaeological discovery in this crucial crossroads of the ancient world. 86 Had the Works of Philo Been Newly Discovered Abraham Terian page 66 The voluminous works of Philo have been known for so long; their exis- tence is taken for granted.B ut imagine the headlines had this first-century Jew's commentaries on the Pentateuch,h is declamatory books, and his dialogues appeared unexpectedly, even mysteriously, from some dry corner of Alexandria!T hough the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Codices has eclipsed scholarly interest in Philo, re- newed devotion to Philonic studies will be requiredf or the advancement of scholarshipo n EarlyJ udaism and Christianity. 98 Hellenization in Syria-Palestine: The Case of Judea in the Third Century BCE Robert Harrison How and to what degree was Judea Hellenized during the third century BfE?
