I meant the translations into english tango. I also wasn't referring to atheist Greeks, but all Greeks. I fully attribute parrallel philosophies and their influence on the Jewish tradition. Like I said, I think the Jews perfected it and made it completely coherent where all others failed. To understand the aincient Hebrew texts we need to take into account the parrallel traditions for a correct perspective.
"The books of the New Testament were written in Koine Greek, the language of the earliest extant manuscripts, even though some authors often included translations from Hebrew and Aramaic texts."
"Jewish culture was heavily influenced by Hellenistic culture, and Koine Greek was used not only for international communication, but also as the first language of many Jews. This development was furthered by the fact that the largest Jewish community of the world lived in Ptolemaic Alexandria. Many of these diaspora Jews would have Greek as their first language, and first the Torah and then other Jewish scriptures (later the Christian "Old Testament") were therefore translated into standard Koine Greek, i.e. the Septuagint."
Yes I've seen some good stuff from Egyptian philosophy. Some dire flaws too of course.
