Synopsis

Explore Philo’s Logos and its echoes through early Christian thought.

This edition presents The Sentiments of Philo Judeus with substantial extracts from his writings, paired and compared with the Scriptures on key doctrines of the Christian faith. It weaves together antique Jewish and early Christian ideas, offering a window into how these texts intersect and illuminate each other.

With extensive selections and scholarly context, the work traces themes such as the divine hypostasis, the role of the Logos, and the mediation between God and creation. It also draws on ancient Chinese and Chou-King material to broaden the conversation about unity, trinity, and divine agency, as understood in historical sources.

• Direct excerpts from Philo’s writings examined alongside biblical passages.
• How the Logos is described as high priest and mediator in ancient thought.
• Cross-cultural references that illuminate classical ideas about unity and divinity.
• Historical notes on the transmission and interpretation of these ideas.

Ideal for readers of patristic philosophy, biblical scholarship, and the history of Christian doctrinal development.
