The following are quotes by Grenfell:
“The points of contact between Judaism and the religion of Babylonia have frequently been mentioned by numerous writers, but the traces of Egyptian mythology in both Jewish and Christian scriptures have not been so much noticed, nor could they be till quite lately. It is only within the last few decades that students have been sufficiently well provided with mythological texts and commentaries to be in possession of the necessary material, thanks to the labors of Birch [Samuel Birch], von Bergmann, von Bissing, Breasted, Brugsch, Budge, Chabas, Deveria, Grebaut, Guieysse, de Horrack, Jequier, Lanzone, Ledrain, Lefebure, Legrain, Lieblein, Mariette [Auguste Mariette], Maspero, Moret, Piehl, Pierret, Pleyte, Renouf, Sharpe, Spiegelberg, Wiedemann and others. The relationship of Egyptian mythology to Jewish religion is too large a subject to discuss fully; haec peritioribus relinguo [these religious experts]; so I only mention a few traces of Egyptian influence in the Old Testament, but there are many others. I will then point out the more numerous Egyptian touches in the New Testament.”
