when i talk about the philosophical leaders of their age... i am almost exclusively referring to old testament books such as proverbs, psalms, job, isaiah and the like. the new testament was primarily written in a very familiar and parochial type of greek that certainly isn't the cream of the crop in a scholarly way (in style and presentation). the only new testament books that could be included imho are romans, hebrews, and possibly revelation.
should've made that discount upfront, thanks all for pointing that out.
